May 7, 2012 - We received great news today when Dr. Dreyer called to tell us that Grant's PCR test (the most sensitive of the 3 bone marrow tests they run and detects the Philadelphia Chromasome) was completely negative. In the past, the results have been "very low level detection, but below level of quantification - or less than .01%." We are thrilled with this news today!!
On a very sad note, our family had a horribly difficult weekend. On Friday Aidan McSpadden, one of Grant's best buddies from the TCH Cancer Center, passed away. Aidan had a very high risk form of this cruel disease. He fought it with unbelievable courage. Grant and Aidan spent a lot of time together on the 9th floor at TCH. Aidan's smile and bright eyes would light up the entire 9th floor as he received his chemotherapy and waited for weeks and months for his blood counts to rebound. Aidan's parents, Jared and Kelli, and his little brother Jax have been on our minds constantly since we received the news. They have endured so much more in the last 2 years than any family should have to in a lifetime. Please pray for the McSpadden family. And you can go to angelsforaidan.com to read about this wonderful family. Go to the "updates" section of our website for more info...
