Updates...

As of today, Grace's blood count actually went down...so it looks like we'll probably be at the hospital for a while. Also, we now won't hear back on the bone marrow test until Tuesday, so it's a waiting game. But, on the flip side-they said that is a good sign-because if there were a lot of red flags in their initial peek at the bone marrow-they'd be taking more measures with chemo. We're praying and hoping that by mid-September, she will be officially Cancer free. Then, we go ahead with trying to keep her in remission for the next 2 1/2 years. Also, on a more positive note-when I called the hospital to say goodnight to Gracie, JR informed me that they were busy building a giant fort in which they would watch a movie. What a good dad!

Ok... I think JR rocks! And, I think that Grace's blood doesn't! I can't believe that it isn't getting better yet. I'm praying for you all.
Much love!

A fort, really? She must have the most happening room in the hospital. Good luck with the bone marrow tomorrow. You're in our prayers.
