Officially in Remission

Colleen had her last bone marrow test until her treatment is done in two and  a half to three years. Praise the Lord. I was wondering how often she would have to endure this test. She has had 3 in the last month. It seems that as soon as the pain is gone it is time to have another one. It was such a relief to hear the doctor say no more for a few years. Her bone marrow test showed less than .01 percent of cancer cells officially considered remission. Her treatment does not change she still needs two years and 5 months worth of chemo to make sure the leukemia cells are eradicated. We are elated that she responded so well to the chemotherapy because the quicker kids respond the more positive their outcomes are most of the time. Thank you for praying God has consistently answered our prayers for Colleen.

I also want to praise God for taking care of problems before they arise. My employer shorted me 40 hours of pay this week and just the time the bank account had 25 dollars in it, a check came for 2 months rent for the rental. Needless to say this was greatly appreciated so no checks bounced. When we had the foster children this happened about 4 times when we were just shy of meeting a bill and he always provided enough to get by. We thank him for providing what we needed to meet our obligations.
