Hallalujah Wednesday - Day 15

Praise the Lord! Debbie is in complete remission and has no leukemia cells in her body. Glory to God! He has answered the prayers lifted up on Debbie's behalf. She had a bone marrow biopsy on Monday and we received the results this morning from the doctor that there were no leukemic cells in her bone marrow! What wonderful news. She will still be in the hospital for another week or two as she builds her cells back up. They will be giving her daily shots to help build her white cells back up. She is going to receive another blood and platelet transfusion today as well. She is really feeling well and still has a good appetite.

Once her counts are good she will go home for two to three weeks and then will come back into the hospital for another round of 24 hour chemotherapy. We are not sure what her maintenance treatment will look like yet but she will be on some sort of regimen for a while.

We are rejoicing in God's faithfulness - his promises are true, he never leaves nor forsakes us. He has held us up during this trial and will continue to lift us up. There are still more hard days ahead - but praise the Lord that he is faithful!

We can never thank you enough for your prayers, cards, encouragement and giving. Please continue to lift Debbie up in prayer that she would not have any infections, her fever would stay down and her counts would go up!
