Day 5
Wow, I cannot believe we are already on day five. Just a few more days, and HOPEFULLY we will be a ¼ of the way threw the “hard” part.
Well, some good news has already come. Wait; let me back it up a little. The day Britney was admitted, her leukemia cells were around 17%. It has been dropping since the treatment started. Today the doctor gave the news that she has reached 6%. In only 4 days of treatment. That is GREAT!!!
I was lucky enough to be there when the Dr was telling her about her results, and Brit was VERY happy to have heard some good news. It is because she is a fighter. I asked the Dr what exactly that meant for her future (As far as treatment). The Dr told us that even if, say next week for example, it was at 0%(which is what you want), that she would still have to stay there the whole 4 weeks and finish all chemotherapy. Sigh. The bad thing is that her bone marrow is packed full of cancer...
Nonetheless, it is still great news that she is already responding so well to treatment, and is well on her way onto fighting this. Keep the prayers coming; they are working.
Well, I guess today’s entry is short, sweet, and to the point. Happy Sunday to all, and to all a goodnight!!
WE LOVE YOU BRITNEY!

Hey every one, just wanted to say thank you to Kenzi for letting everyone know how we are doing. :) just wanted to make our own little up date, kenzi gave us permission to fix up a little bit of the details. the leukemia has dropped to 6% in Brits blood stream, which is great! they will be continuing chemo to get the leukemia cells out of her bone marrow, which is unfortunately completely full. but seeing the percentage of cells going out of the bone marrow into the blood stream drop is amazing news in such a short time. also good news is that there is NO leukemia in her spinal fluid. we know thats because of so many peoples prayers for us and by keeping such an optimistic attitude about the situation. we have had the best support, we counted 25 visiters just yesterday! we love you all, and we will keep you updated. Thank you kenzi for doing this and all the time you put in to blessing our lives, we love you kenz!
