Not a trace....

We met with the doctor today and Grace is cancer-free!!! The doctor said, "This is amazing, there's not a trace!"

We are so excited we can hardly keep it together!! We're crying and laughing and jumping up and down and clapping and screaming out and crying, laughing......

Gracie was on the phone and said, "I beated up the cancer!"

She has tests again in 12 weeks. If those tests are all clear then she can have her Broviac (central line) taken out. She'll be tested every 12 weeks for the first year. She'll be on an antibiotic for at least 6 months but that's way better than hospital stays and chemo.

Her white blood count is still low but that's normal as her bone marrow is rebuilding. The doctor said that she'll be able to start going to school in January. For now, it's better for her to remain in the homebound program, it will enable her to continue to get healthier and stronger.

Yeah!!!!! Gracie is cancer-free.

We don't know what to do--this is so amazing!

We don't even know how to begin to express our gratitude for the many, many, many acts of service and the millions of prayers offered in our behalf. It's a miracle--because of all of you--we could not have made it through. So many times we thought we couldn't go on for another minute and someone would fill the need, and made it possible for us to meet the challenge at hand. We've never been through a more difficult experience but we've never been so blessed.

Thank you. We hope everyone has a huge party tonight, tomorrow and everyday celebrating life, love, friends, family, kindness, courage and service.
