CELEBRATE WITH US!!!!!!

Yesterday at NIH we found out that Jim's CT scans showed that all of his lymph nodes have gotten even smaller than the CT scans in June! The bone marrow biopsy showed that the marrow was clear except for 5%. That 5% consists of CLL cells which is so minimal that the doctors are not concerned. Doctors are very pleased and don't need to see him for 3 months! So we are greatly relieved and thank God for this blessing and thank all of you for all the prayers and loving concern. Another bonus--Jim slept for 10 hours last night! Love to all, Barbara

  2. Yeah!!!! Terrific news. We were thinking of you yesterday knowing you were going for those tests. Good news is the best sedative...now both of you can get some much needed rest. Sleep well and take care.

    Love,
