This is straight from Marielles journal !! OMG .. we can't contain ourselves !

Praise God is the first thing out of my mouth!!! WE'RE IN REMISSION!! I'd scream it from the rooftop if I could leave her side but I am too excited to leave the room!!

I knew and trusted that He would make miracles happen and so He did!!

I have to keep this short because I can't see through my joyful tears!!!

Thank you all for your steady prayers, love and support!! We will keep you posted on the next step of treatment. They're looking for the non-nephro toxic chemo drugs that they can use.
We will still have dialysis today and be working on resolving her kidney failure.
More later, I have some calls to make..We Love you all!!

AND THIS IS THE SECOND POSTING FROM TODAY !

Can we handle more good news, of course we can!!! The pathology report just came back and shows no permanent damage, no irreparable damage to the kidneys!! So over the course of a few more days or weeks the creatinine will creep downwards on it's own. She will still be able to have a little help from the dialysis which is easy for her, at least it has been this week. We are looking at another week or so of dialysis and then resume the next phase of the chemo.
For those of you that don't know or haven't heard, with the leukemia diagnosis comes 2 1/2 years of chemotherapy. The protocol changes over time, but she is now in the phase called LTM, long term maintenance. We continue to ask for your prayers, love and support and give all the glory to God, the Master Healer!
We will continue to share our progress on this remarkable journey of faith with you all! xoxoxo

Thank you all for all the support over these past 4 months .. it is still a very long road .. but at least we are now on the right road !!

Love you all !

Pat & Buttercup
