(I wrote this in an email earlier this morning)
I just came back from the dr's office with Bree and they gave us a lot of good news! Today is day 7 after chemo and usually she is in the "danger" zone but today her counts were very high! Her ANC was 4600 and her hemoglobin was 11.1. Yeah! Usually she is quite low at 500 to 1000 so this is spectacular! She is "on the rise" so the doctor also discontinued her neupogen shots! Yeah, no more shots in the legs! Double Yea!
They also told us that we can leave her NG tube out for a few weeks to see if she can maintain her weight on her own! Yeah again! When she's had the tube out in the past she has seemed more interested in food and wanted to drink from a sippy cup so let's hope and pray that she continues to eat!
Thanks so much for your continued prayers in her behalf. Today as I walked out of the dr's office, I really felt good about almost being done with this whole ordeal. I know there is still a way to go. Possible surgery, MRI's, more bloodwork, urine tests, more medications, etc. But, today was a good day. Lots of good news. Thanks again and love you all!!

Wonderful!!! It's amazing how miracles can happen. Just so you know, I put Bree's name on the Rexburg, ID temple roll Friday night in addition to our prayers. Yeah for a great day:)
That is awesome! What a blessing for Bree and your family!
As we say in Kentucky..."you can see the barn door" (meaning the mule sees the barn door and gets excited thinking he is done). I'm so extremely happy for you. I've gone through similar ordeals with my mother and know the exact feeling you had yesterday. I will continue to pray for you all. Thank you so much for the updates.
Yahoo!! that is a lot of great news. Can't wait to hear more!

What great news! We'll continue to keep Bree and your family in our thoughts and prayers. What a blessing!
While I don't know your little angel, she continues to be in my prayers! What a great feeling I had when I read this "breath of fresh air!" Yipee for Bree and for your family--you deserve good news!! :) Praying for continued good news...
Kari, so glad to see Bree is doing so well. You have been on my mind a lot lately...thinking of this last treatment and hoping for more and more good news. As always, you, Bree, and your family are in our prayers.
Good days are worth more than you can say in the cancer world! SO glad it is done and hoping that you never have to watch her suffer with sickness again. Stupid NB!
