Briley's bloodwork today showed only a very small amount of Leukemia. The doctor said she may get to go to the Ronald McDonald house in a couple of days. When I asked Briley about going to the Ronald McDonald house, she said in a shaky voice, "Can I take my pump?" She also got unhooked from her pump today. The doctor wanted to see how well she would eat and drink without the IV. After they unhooked it, she said, "Tell them to hook me back up!!" She is getting very used to it. She has played today, and is eating alot. Overall, today has been a good day!! God is great!!

Briley is back in the room after the spinal tap and getting chemo in her spine. She is doing well, and is demanding "Old McDonalds"!! Her blast count (Leukemia count) in her blood went from around 100 to 10. She is about to get more chemo in the room right now. We are praying for good news after the procedure this morning. Thank you for all of the prayers, and please keep them coming. God is so wonderfully answering them!!

Briley has had a better day today. She had to get platelets this morning, but her hemoglobin count was good. She saw Mrs. Crystal and Sissy, and was so excited!! She has a spinal tap and will have chemo put into her spine tomorrow. She will also get chemo when she is back in the room. Please pray that she does well during the procedure, that her Leukemia count is very low or all gone, and that she does well with the chemo tomorrow. Thank you for all of the prayers.

Briley hasn't felt great today. She wanted me to hold her or lay next to her all day. She threw up once, but felt better after that. Her hemoglobin was low, so she had to get a blood transfusion today. Her blast count, which is the Leukemia cells, went up slightly today. That's not something we want to see. The doctor said that her overall chemistry showed that the Leukemia was dying, so hopefully tomorrow's counts will look better. She's going to sleep right now, so hopefully she has a great night. We got Subway for lunch, and John's cousin Tina brought roast, potatoes, and carrots, rolls, and brownies!! That made today much better!! John is at home with Bryson, and I am missing them like crazy. However, I know Bryson needs him too. Please keep the prayers coming!! The Leukemia is a quick moving cancer, so please continue to pray for healing in Briley's little body. Good night!!

Briley has had a good day. She is really weak and her back still is hurting some. She has held down some food, and she went to the playroom and made monkey bread. We got great news today. Her genetic testing came back, and she has TEL-ALL Pre B ALL. This means she may be in a low risk category for the treatment, which may mean less chemo!! Praise God!! Please also pray for Briley's new friend Gracie. She is 4 and has Neuroblastoma. She currently shows no signs of disease, but is still having treatments. Please pray that there is no more cancer. Please pray for Michael who had a bone marrow transplant today. Also, please pray for another boy in the playroom who is going to have to have a bone marrow transplant. He has a different form of ALL. It was devastating to find out Briley had cancer, but she has a great prognosis. There are kids with cancer that is much worse. God has graciously answered prayers, so let's keep them coming!!

Briley

It is such a blessing that Briley's leukemia is being fought off with her chemo.  Keep being a strong girl Briley!  Prayers are being answered!
