No, i'm not referring to the web company whose name came from an acronym for Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.

This is actually a post about some good news. Yesterday, while Chloe was under for her spinal tap they took a bone marrow sample for testing. I just got the results from the Doc and she now has 0% leukemia cells in her bone marrow. This is good news for [obvious] and numerous reasons. A few weeks ago she had over 90% cancerous cells. The bone marrow transplant cannot be given if the leukemia is not in remission. We were real concerned about this since it came back after her initial treatment and the bone marrow specialist told us that if it does not go into remission... well, I just don't want to say what that means it's just bad news all around and I've tried not to think about it. Anyway, sounds like the chemo is doing it's job. Thanks everyone for your prayers - I know they have helped and we really appreciate it. Please keep praying that it will stay in remission!

The crappy news, she still has some bacteria issues in her intestines called Crypto, which keeps causing diarehha. So i guess she'll get some more antibiotics for that. It's all good though, she already has 3 IV lines right now, another can't hurt.

Today I ate a salad with 3/16" slices of carrots - cut the long way maybe 4 or 5" long. They were crunchy, much like I expected them to be. I was pleased.
