To clarify...

I didn't go into much detail on this blog and there has been some confusion about what the test results meant.I've had several people ask me if Hannah was completely out of the woods because she had good test results. No, that is not true. The bone marrow biopsy showed that there were no immature white bood cells in her bone marrow which would have put her in a high risk category. She will remain at standard risk and continue to have chemotherapy treatments for the next 2 1/2 years. She will continue on the path of treatment that the doctors first prescribed. The doctors fully expected that the test results would come back the way they did. It is very rare that kids have the results come back the other way. Nothing has changed as a result of the good test results, her treatment would have just been much more intense if the test had not come back good.

The Glad Tidings of FUMC sent me to your blog and I'm so glad to find it. We both have beautiful daughters named "Hannah." Mine is grown now and serving the Lord. It is my prayer that your Hannah will have her health completely restored, grow into adulthood and serve the Lord every day of her life. God speed through this period of her young life.
