GRIFFIN IS IN REMISSION!

All,

Our prayer is working! Jon and Gretch received a call from Griffin's doctor this morning who reported that Griffin was officially in remission!

What does this mean?
It means that after examination of yesterday's bone marrow, less than 5% of the cancer remains. This confirms that Griffin is an early and a positive responder to the treatment. This puts him in a higher likelihood of 100% cure of leukemia.

PRAISE GOD! OUR PRAYER IS WORKING! ALL THE GLORY TO GOD!

What are the next steps?
Griffin will continue the chemo treatments that will continue for the next three years. The doctor cautioned that they need to be vigilant about killing the cancer or he might relapse, but this is great, great news!
