Day 280

FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER--ELIZABETH's liver biopsy is COMPLETELY NORMAL!!! We Got Our Miracle---PRAISE GOD! Thank you, Jesus!

NO CANCER, NO LEUKEMIA, NO ABMORMAL TUMOR CELLS!!!
Her BMA looks PRISTINE! We will still have to wait for MRD results. There were alot of other "bad" things that they thought this could be but we were first trying to rule out leukemia. Today, we have ruled OUT leukemia, and ALL "bad" things and they believe that this liver problem was now caused from a DRUG REACTION or maybe a perservative!! WOW! I have never been so happy to hear drug reaction!  There has been alot of information given to me over the last few days that I have not gone into detail about for now I am just BELIEVING GOD HAS HEARD US and HE WILL CONTINUE TO HEAL ELIZABETH! It's all that really matters. Elizabeth has been a mystery to these doctors for so long and I really hope for their sake she can take a break. I want to thank the doctors, nurses and NPs who have kept me very informed over the last 4 days and have been so supportive. I can honestly feel their love for Elizabeth and me! I especially want to thank Dr. Sara. I will never forget the moment she told me this could be cancer. I could feel the pain in her heart and I think it scared me even more but also made me realize just how much Elizabeth meant to her. I hope the two of us NEVER have to go through this again. She truly is a VERY SPECIAL person, please keep her in your prayers that GOD will bless her for being such a blessing to us! I don't know what we would do without her. We love you, Dr. Sara!

To finish off the good news-- we are being DISCHARGED! AMAZING, I told you, you never know what today will bring. I never thought this when I woke up this morning! Elizabeth woke up this morning at 6 (after sleeping ALL night, me too) and said "Call Nurse, Stickers) She stuck stickers on paper for 4 hours and 15 minutes! Thanks to Child Life for all the stickers and my friends who have sent SO many from home. So, I need to get busy packing. GOD IS SOOOO GOOD! Remember all the children we are leaving in the hospital this holiday weekend and KEEP PRAYING AND KEEP BELIEVING with all your HEART! My love and thanks, Michelle

Oh--- How I feel like I can BREATHE!!! Cherish every moment!
