GOOD NEWS ALERT!!!!

From Jill on Monday January, 30th, 2012:
"On our way home from the hospital. This has been one very emotional day! I am so thankful for all of the doctors and nurses at mary bridge childrens hospital, they made this experience so much better than I could have ever expected. I am also thankful for all the parents and children that have gone through this before in the past that have joined the studies to get the cure rate from zero % 40 years ago to 85% today. Thank you all for continuing to pray for us."

From Jill on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012:
"We just got some really good news today! The doctor called and there is no leukemia in his bonemarrow,spinal cord or blood.  This means he is on the low risk treatment and will be receiving the least amount of chemotherapy over the next 3 years. This also means a lot less chance of side effects when he gets older. Thank you all for your prayers.  He does have a fever and we might be making a trip to the hospital tonight so everyone keep praying because we are not ready to go back yet! We get to talk to the doctor on Friday to find out what his treatment plan will be like. I will keep everyone updated."

P.S. The fever went down quickly and nobody had to go back to the hospital!!!

Journal Week 4

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 - Wednesday January 25th, 2012
Not a whole lot to report. Resting and waiting for numbers in blood to increase so everyone can go home.

Tristan got to meet some of the Mariners and the Moose! The press came and 100s of pictures were taken. Tristans pic is on the hospital website and the local paper. Very cool stuff!

Friday, January 27th, 2012 - Sunday January 29th, 2012
If the weekend goes well, Tristan goes home on Monday!!!!

Monday, January 30th, 2012
After a month in the hospital tristan finally gets to go home!!!  Today he had a spinal tap Chemo, a bone marrow biopsy and regular Chemo. From Jill via Facebook "Please pray we get positive results back from the bonemarrow because if we do tristan could be considered low risk of getting it back after 3 year treatment. Plus also means alot less toxic treatments! Keep praying :9)"
When the doctor asked Tristan if he was ready to go home...he said "Where's the exit?" HA!

Journal Week 3

Sunday, January 15th, 2012
Another day off being poked and prodded. Grandma and mom got to go back home again for some R&R

Monday, January 16th, 2012
Another round of Chemo today. Numbers in blood dropped. Going home early doesnt really look like an option at this point.

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012
Mark's car is fixed! There is now sufficient transportation!!!

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
Blood numbers dropped a little again. Tristan won a snowman making contest! The hospital staff brought in a bucket of snow from the storm outside and everyone built and decorated it. Grand prize...ICE CREAM :)

Thursday, January 19th, 2012
Happy mood today. Lots of rest . The storm wiped out electricity and covered the city with snow and ice. No power at Mark's store or at home. Tristan weighed in today. 18lbs in 15 days! Those steroids seem to be working like everyone expects them to :)

Friday, January 20th, 2012 - Saturday, January 21st, 2012
Not a whole lot to report. Just hanging around waiting for numbers to go back up.
