Thank you for your prayers!
Eden had her first outpatient chemo today and all went well. The wonderful, amazing news includes her test results. We were shooting for less than 5% cancer cells remaining by next week. Well, after waiting and praying and praying and waiting for the results, we were informed that she is at 3%!!!!!!! This is a huge praise for us as it shows us the chemo is working. We really believe that this is God's grace! Also, her spinal fluid tested cancer-free still! While this is the news we have been praying for, it does not change the course of treatment. She will continue to receive her "pokes", oral, and IV chemo.
We were not quite sure how Eden would react to our return trip to the hospital today. She was not allowed to eat anything until she was finished; but, she worked the crowd. Anyone who came within reach, she requested "cheese" from. She did eventually polish off nearly a tub! In her usual style she was not only quite chipper but also had a memory like a steel trap. When she saw beloved Donna (developmental specialist from our last clinic visit) Eden's eyes lit up and she immediately requested "toys". Eden has seen many of you over the past week (thanks for the visits and care); she remembers and has had a positive experience overall.
