Answer to an On-Going Prayer Request!

It seems like we've been waiting for this for a long time!

About a week and a half ago, Jessica had another check-up at Mayo Clinic. It was just the routine stuff, and they took a blood test to see if she was in remission yet since she's been responding so well to the medication they've given her for her leukemia. Last week we got the results back that she is finally in remission!! :D Praise the Lord!!!

When Jess was diagnosed with leukemia just before Christmas, 2006, it was such a frightening thing. Honestly, I didn't know much about leukemia...the first thing that popped into my head at the word were those little cans of change you always see at the cash registers at gas stations and grocery stores with a picture of a little kid so sick with the disease. It was scary to start doing research about it and learn about this thing that had just changed our family so much. I think the hardest part was just not knowing what to expect. Thankfully, God has allowed doctors to make huge advances in treating leukemia, especially if it is caught in its early stages. Jess' leukemia was caught very early through another work of God and her body has responded so well to the medication the doctors have given her. So, we are just so thankful for God's goodness to our family once again! Not that there won't be battles yet to face on down the road...but we know that God will carry us through them as He has already done so many times! Praise God with us, and keep praying for Jess! :)
