Treatment may have ended for Katie, but the battle is far from over.

Please say a prayer for all the children who continue to fight childhood cancer day after day.
Pray for their strength, resilience and healing.

TODAY IS A GREAT DAY!

Kaitlyn's doctor called about an hour ago to tell us that

KAITLYN IS IN REMISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They also tested her bone marrow for minimal residual disease (MRD) which is a test to measure minute levels of cancer cells in tissue samples, sometimes as low as 1 cancer cell in a million normal cells. MRD is the major cause of relapse in cancer and leukemia. Kaitlyn tested NEGATIVE for MRD.

We will be going back to the hospital next week to begin the next phase of Kaitlyn's treatment.
