A Room Without A Roof (Happy!)

If you were wondering what a room without a roof looks like... it's this!

The Minimal Residual Disease test, which looks for even the smallest trace of cancer, is back and there is NO evidence of leukemia in Jade's bone marrow after one round of chemo.

That potential hurdle of Jade not being eligible for a transplant because the leukemia is too prevalent in her body - GONE! We celebrated by rocking out to Pharrell's Happy, running around the yard a few times - picking a few dandelions and wishing on them, and even riding our bikes to the end of the block. (Yes, we were just showing off at that point.) Jade has not been this  energetic and uninhibited for nearly six months. THIS is the Jade I know.  

Oh, yeah. Apparently Jade is going to have curly red hair and design video games when she grows up. Her unprompted words.

Thanks for checking in on Jade.  Thank you for your continued prayers as we head back to the hospital on Monday for a second round of chemo to make sure the leukemia stays gone while we await news of a suitable match for Jade's bone marrow transplant.
