Update on Beth

Beth had the 90 day post-transplant bone marrow biopsy last week and the results are great!! Leukemia is in remission and the new marrow looks good.

However, the Epstein-Barr virus continues to linger, mainly in Beth's throat area.  As a result, the doctors want to do another PET Scan to make sure the virus has not spread to any other areas of her body and then surgically remove her tonsils since this is where the virus seems to be "lodging".  We think the surgery will be either Friday or Monday.

We may have to postpone the boys' trip to NYC as Beth recovers from surgery.

Your prayers are appreciated greatly--

  • Thank God with us for the positive biopsy and the absence of leukemia in Beth's marrow/blood.

  • Seek His sovereign protection and grace to fend off the EB virus.

  • Ask for safety and success during surgery ... and for a speedy recovery!
