Miracle in the Making
To accomplish things that seem impossible you must not only act on them but also dream, believe and hold onto hope like never before!!
Today Jordyn had a bone marrow aspiration here at St Jude that gave us news that proves there is a "Miracle in the Making". Jordyn's marrow is 100% donor cells(Her father, Brian's cells) and that there were no leukemia blast in her marrow! We held onto HOPE which is truly a feeling that what is wanted CAN BE HAD! Prayers are powerful and it stands true that through God NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE!
Jordyn has been and always will be a remarkable and incredible fighter! Her fight has been long and to still have the strength she does is amazingly crazy!
I won't be ignorant to the recovery road that still lies ahead of us. We now hold onto hope for all her organs to withstand all the poison that has been placed in this little body...we also hold onto hope that her body will not reject her new cells once we wean off immune suppressant meds. It is one that will be long, but one that we can travel down with so much confidence and even MORE HOPE. One that I have to find the proper balance between optimism and reality that faces this journey. But today I give thanks to God for listening to so many praying hands.
