“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Luke 11:9-10 NLT
This right here is one happy girl. This is a girl who was given an earthly diagnosis but who serves a Heavenly God. Today was a day I will never forget. No matter what the results were going to be, we knew the Lord would still be in control. We would continue to sing of His faithfulness. This however, is also a girl with no leukemia in her body!!!! Our nurse saw us today and asked us one simple question, "How do you feel about 0%?!?"
And the tears started rolling...
So this means she is in complete remission and we will stay High Risk!!!!
Does this mean treatment ends?
No.... We will still have to complete the 2.5 years of treatment to ensure complete remission and cure rate with no relapse. But staying high risk means we do not have to be bumped up and treatment will not increase in intensity.
Our hearts are happy. We had an amazing time on our BabyMoon this week, and we were so thankful to get time together as a couple and it really was amazing...Thanks to our sweet friends for watching our girls....We have a LONG road ahead of us, with many ups and downs I am sure....but through it all the Lord will sustain us!!!! Please keep sharing our story and keep the prayers coming.
Right now our big prayers are as follows
1. That Alayna will meet counts and we will be able to start CONSOLIDATION on Friday, the next phase of treatment. Also that her liver enzymes and blood count will be back to normal. We might need blood tomorrow so we are waiting on results....Three days of clinic days in a row....Bring on the Starbucks...
2. OUR HOUSE HAS TO SELL!!! We lowered the price of our house, although I wasn't super happy about it, but financially it is a must. Having two house payments is really challenging and is really hard when Ron and I are not able to work like normal. So financially, with a new baby coming, it's huge!Here's the link with the new price reduction! Praying for a bidding war so the price cut doesn't really effect anything!!! Our Beautiful House
3. Pray for the perfect timing of Avery coming and that she will come on her own, without having to be induced. This has definitely been my prayer. I'm fine with induction but would love to just go into labor on my own. I am very umcomfy and just ready for this next phase of our life to start. Three girls, one a newborn, one with cancer, & one super strong willed. Prayers are definitely going to be needed lol. So excited to also celebrate Avery this weekend as my friends throw us a sprinkle/shower. I have missed seeing people at church and so I am so excited to see friends and celebrate my sweet girls!! Hope to see y'all there
4. Pray for this next phase, CONSOLIDATION. There's a risk for lots of fevers and possible drug interactions. We are praying for no side effects, no nausea, no weakness, and no more hair loss!!! One drug, Peg, is known to cause anaphylaxis and she will get that on day 15 and 29, so we are praying against that! So pray with us.
Thank you so much all the support and prayers! We have been blown away by the go fund me account and believe the Lord will keep continuing to provide. We have had a few scares with insurance, and finances are always a challenge, but hopefully they will get all worked out! Also we have 3 days left of Tshirts sales so make sure you order yours before you can't!!!
“I have told all your people about your justice. I have not been afraid to speak out, as you, O LORD, well know. I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.”
Psalms 40:9-10 NLT
We love you all and are so thankful for the prayers and that we are truly on the way to our #BeautifullyComplete
Our God is an awesome God! Will continue to pray for your family!
