Good Ethan News!!

October 24- Day 257

3rd update/ 6:40pm [Becky] We finally heard back from the labs. There's good news! Okay, I will try to explain it, but I'm still not sure I understand it completely. The results from this week are the same as they were last week. Last week there were a few white cells and a few of them looked to be leukemia cells, but since there were so few, they couldn't do further testing on them. So this week since the results are the same, they don't believe the "odd" looking cells to be leukemia. PRAISE GOD!! It's very much over my head. All I know is, our doctor called and said he is not worried about it being leukemia (in the spine.) We will continue to do the weekly chemo in the spine to be cautious and as a preventative measure. It's been a stressful day waiting for results, but please say a "Thank you" prayer on Ethan's behalf for the confusing, but good, test results. :)
Next week he's scheduled to have another spinal and a bone marrow asperate. Next Wednesday is a very important day, and not because it's Halloween. :) The results of those tests will tell us what's going on in the marrow. PLEASE PRAY for great results! For today, we say a huge "thank you" to God! BeLIeVe!! PRAYER WORKS!!


Keep the prayers going!!!
