Noah is in remission!!

For the last month his blood work was improving, and on Friday at his appointment the blasts were GONE, AND his neutrophils were UP, AND his platelets were just under NORMAL!!

Whew.

They know the longer a baby has TMD, the likelihood of getting full blown AML is greater.  If he had gotten rid of it at 1 month, it would have been a 1 in 5 chance before the age of 5.  Because Noah is an outlier, his chance is higher, but we don’t know how much higher.  It’s maybe better not knowing.  For now, he will have monthly trips to Rochester and will be watched closely.  The big scary Leukemia monster is locked up, but not all gone.

Regardless, God is Good, and nothing is outside His control!

Timing of everything has been interesting.  Ask me sometime, I’d love to share!

We are perplexed by God’s plans, but being pushed and shuffling forward not really knowing what is down the road.  If there was a lesson for the last 6 months, it is “you are not in control.”  and “trust, do not fear”

God is Sovereign, and intimately involved in us.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?[h] And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.  Matt 10:29-31

In other news, Noah is doing well.  He is growing and doing most things right on time.   He is my best sleeper, and sleeps all night without being fed.  I won the baby lottery!
