First of all, we would like to thank everyone who came out to the bone marrow drive yesterday whether you were able to donate or not! We had about 200 people who were able to be swabbed! Simply amazing and we are so grateful! That number doesn't even include people who were able to be swabbed through the mail! Yesterday wouldn't have been possible without JPC Children's foundation who organized the event, all of our friends who took time out of their busy day to volunteer and help, and to our friends who made bracelets and sold t-shirts to benefit Mia and our family! Again, we are so blessed and feel incredibly grateful for your support!
I received a phone call this afternoon from Mia's amazing nurse practitioner with fantastic news! She called with more test results that confirmed remission! This incredible news ensures we are able to move forward and prepare for Mia's bone marrow transplant!!! Tomorrow, she will go to the clinic for blood work and a check up and then will be able to begin the next chemo cycle on Monday in CHOP's Vorhees clinic. The next cycle will consist of chemo of 10 days of straight chemo with a break on the weekend.
Even though we have a long road ahead of us, we are headed in the right direction! Again, thank you so so very much for your continued prayers and support! We wouldn't have been able to get through the last month without you!
