No Definitive Results Yet

(From Esther):

Some of you may have been waiting for an update for many hours now so I want to thank you so much for your patience!

We actually updated via the blog but decided to take it down because the explanation was getting a little confusing. The truth is, it is a confounding situation. Ava's marrow did not reveal any disease! But the pathologists in Chicago are certain they detected leukemia in her skin. Apparently to relapse only in your skin is incredibly rare. We will not have a game plan until we get a second opinion from Seattle regarding the skin.

We thank you for praying with us during this waiting period. We pray that Ava's biopsy would reveal no leukemia cells in her skin and that no further treatment would be necessary.

Happy candy day from a bride, Elsa, and a disgruntled monkey. <3
