Good new!

It is so nice to share good news.
God has answered our prayers! Kelly got the results from the bone marrow biopsy and the leukemia has stayed put this whole last month while we have been battling the fungus!!! This was tremendous news. The main concern, besides the fact that the fungus kills most people, is that while Kelly's body was being stimulated to produce white blood cells rapidly in order to kill the fungus, we feared that his body would be producing leukemic cells (which are abnormal white blood cells). So... the fungus is no longer in his sinus' and the doctors seem to think that we have the upper hand on it and... the cancer is considered to be in remission! This does not mean that he is cancer free. We will resume chemo in a couple of weeks and begin where we left off. The reason this is so significant is that each set back to treatment lowers the percentage of survivability and although we have had many bumps in the road, we have not been set back! Thank you Lord!!! Kelly will be speaking with a lung specialist to determine when and if surgery is needed, (the spot on his lung might be scar tissue or fungus or pneumonia???) The results from his lung biopsy will be clearer this week.

On a personal note, we were able to go to Jackie and Lee's wedding! What a blessed event and beautiful bride! We stayed with our good friends, the Johnson's and had a great weekend. Thank you all so much for your prayers and please, please, please don't stop. Sincerely, Gabriela
