atelets to get her iron and other numbers where they needed to be. Today she will have a bone marrow sample taken and also a spinal tap done. Sometime in the next couple of days she will have a port put in and have her first treatment. We won't have a lot of answers until later tomorrow. Everything is looking as good as possible at this point, tho. She is responding well and has a good attitude. Kevin and I are holding up pretty well at this point. For those of you how know us well, you know we take things in stride. This seems to be no different. No reason to borrow trouble. There is a long road ahead, but we have a powerful God to see us through and an amazing support system in our family and friends. Pray and pray again!!
