We're in the clinic today and received good results on Maggie's bone marrow from last week--0% leukemic blasts. This is what we and Dr. French expected (or hoped for) so it was delivered to us in a nonchalant kind of way. However, we can't underestimate how good it is to continue to get those results when they check her bone marrow. We're still on course and the treatment is working so far. As of this week, we are about 1/3 of the way through the treatment, eight months down, about 16 more to go. Maggie has done well so far, but is not close to being out of the woods yet. Just an FYI on her progress and the big picture.
Maggie is starting to feel better coming off of the steroids as well. She's smiling and giggling some now, which is great to see. We're still working on getting her comfortable playing by herself (or getting off of our laps for more than a minute) and her sleep isn't back yet, either. It will be nice to have those recover as well.

So glad for that good news about Maggie's progress. This chemotherapy is so difficult. It's good to know that it is achieving good results!
Lets hope for increasing smiles and independence for Maggie. Increasing rest and relief for Andy and Whitney.
Love and prayers.

Yes!!! So thankful for the good bone marrow test. Thank the Lord for doctors who know how to treat, and thank the Lord for His work in Maggie's healing. With the demise of the steriods from Maggie's system, hopefully all of you will get some well deserved rest and some happy times with your sweet little Maggie. Love & prayers, Cousin Carol
