reMission Accomplished

First of all, my apologies for not being very active of late, but there just hasn’t been many updates to provide and I also needed a mini vacation.   But now we definitely have something to update everyone with…Cutler is now officially in remission!  We got the word last night/this morning from the doctor that the bone marrow shows no signs of cancer and the spinal fluid is clean with no blasts present.  The blood work also continues to come back clean.  Cutler is so happy that he is now singing about it…

Obviously this is tremendous news and a major step towards the cure as we will most likely move on to a potential transplant once this next round of chemo is complete.  So while it is time to be amazed and overwhelmed with this good news, we must still keep the prayers pushing forward for the cure.  We had to cancel Mason’s scheduled blood test due to his illness, but he is finally without fever and the cough has reduced so we hope to have the test done at the beginning of next week.  As for Mason’s health, he is heading back to school tomorrow and let’s hope this is the last of the gunk that is going around not just for Mason, but also for all of his classmates as this nasty h1n1 works its way through the system.
