No Bad Cells!

Good news! The results are in, and they are good. The doctors at Johns Hopkins have looked at Katie's bone marrow sample very carefully, and they cannot find any blasts--no bad cells, no nasty leukemia creeping back in, nothing to worry about!

This does not mean that treatment ends or that Katie gets a break. The good doctors at Fletcher Allen will continue the barrage to ensure that Katie remains well and that the cancer does not return. We are not home free yet. We are making progress, though, and this is a good sign. We haven't had a bone marrow test in a long time, so we didn't know what the doctors would discover, and we are incredibly relieved to learn that her marrow is healthy.

Yeah, Katie! With much love for the whole wide world, because I am on cloud nine and a half and just brimming right over, Amy
