Will Update ~ Day 8 ~ February 24 (written a day late)

Good news today. The wbc was down for the first time. We had a chance to talk with the doctor. He is delighted that Will has no virtually no side effects and says he is more concerned with liver and kidney function which is looking good.

Again he extolled the virtues of the Gleevec…..high probability of remission, virtually no side effects after initial introduction, a normal life with no signs or symptoms of leukemia once hematologic remission is reached, history of long term successes, etc

We are so thankful to a great and gracious God who, before we ever knew we would have this need, before we ever knew what we needed to pray for, looked ahead and provided not only this drug and the research behind it, but also provided so many other things that enabled us to cope at this time. Not the least of which is all the friends who have lifted us up in prayer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you all.
