Wednesday - Day Eight

Last day of chemo - yeah!!! The chemo drip stopped a little before noon today, we are so thankful to have the medicine in and working and be off that drip. Debbie had another good day today. Her counts did not drop significantly so she did not need a transfusion again today, praise the Lord. She rested much of today and had a few visitors. We managed to snap a few pictures today and you can see how great Debbie looks!
She will have a bone marrow biopsy on Monday to see if there are any leukemia cells remaining in her body. If not (which is what we are praying for) she will be declared in remission and will be able to go home once her blood counts return to normal. She will then undergo some form of maintenance chemo for a period of time. If there are still leukemia cells she will have to go through this phase of chemo again. Please join us in praying that all of these leukemia cells have been destroyed and that her body is healthy! We know that God is in control and is the Healer.
Thank you for your cards, we attached a picture of the cards that we have put up on her wall. What an encouragement. Every time a new nurse or aid walks in they can't believe how many cards, gifts, and decorations she has in her room! How wonderful!
