December update: On the 15th she had her 6th bone marrow biopsy of the year. 6! After the procedure the Dr said it was a good sign that he pulled a lot of blood with the marrow. First time he's ever said anything like that, so I didn't know how to take it but I like good signs. The results came back yesterday and they are good. They felt there was even less of the cancer present than the last biopsy, but still "small traces". It appears to be dormant, but no one used the word remission so I don't know how to classify her condition. So we're just going to monitor her for the near future. Her platelet levels continue to rise and are at 110. That's low but they are still creeping back towards normal (140). There are no more biopsy's scheduled and she will be attending spring semester in Auburn for the first time since her freshman year. She should graduate in December of '17.

Its been a year since all this started. Looking back, it hard to believe that we went through this. Almost seems surreal. We're all looking forward to putting 2016 in the rear view mirror. 2016 was a crap year for us in more ways than 1. A big THANK YOU to the mods for allowing me to vent here, and a big THANK YOU to everyone else for all the mojo and encouragement. I truely hope that 2017 brings us all peace and happiness!
