This is the first good news since this whole heart breaking situation has started: doctors confirm that Griffin does have Pre-B ALL-- this is the 80% highly curable Leukemia.Thank you Lord...
Last night Griffin had a blood transfusion to get his hemoglobin level is up. This was to prepare him for this chemotherapy.He will start chemotherapy this morning which is mostly an induction phase. The chemotherapy will be administered through Griffin's IV and through pills. These are very toxic chemicals that will kill the tumors and the cancer in his bone marrow. The doctor's tell them that Griffin's only side pain for this induction chemo treatment should be jaw pain.
Assuming Griffin responds well to the chemotherapy, Jon, Gretch and Griffy will go home this Friday, May 2. Everest, Hudsy and Kai-Kai miss Mommy, Daddy, and Griffy dearly. Gretch and Jon have started planning in preparation of taking care of Griffin over the next six months of chemotherapy.

Please know that all of my family's positive and hopeful thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
