Today we found out the results of Ava's Bone Marrow test. It turns out that Ava is in REMISSION and does NOT need a bone marrow transplant! I can't tell you how much of a relief this is for us. I feel like I can finally breathe. It's that kind of breath when you finally get to the top of a mountain when hiking and your heart slows down and you can breath that fresh, clean, perfect air...that's what this is! I've known Ava was strong, especially when she started dancing to her bubble blowing dancing flower at the hospital in the middle of her chemo treatment when most kids would be in bed. She is such an amazing little person!
We check back into the hospital tomorrow and will start her 2nd round of chemotherapy. Fortunately the drugs this round are the exact same as she had last time but this time they will run over 8 days instead of 10. We will start our day with an echocardiogram tomorrow and then start chemo at 6pm.
Ava will need to have 3 more rounds of chemo....so basically 3 more months give or take in the hospital. with 7-10 days at home between each treatment.
I'm so happy, today is the best day!
Grace, Gratitude and God! We are elated for all of you.
