U of M bound
Emily will be admitted to U Of M next Thursday for her chemotherapy treatment. She will be there for several months. She may be home a week or so here and there. She can have visitors and receive phone calls. She will have a computer in her room. We will post her address next week. Leslie (mom) will be staying up there with her. More details later. It was a very long day and thank you for your prayers.
Update
First report of the morning is that Emily's pathology report came back negative for bone cancer. YES!!!!!! The doctor thinks from his initial exam that Emily seems to be doing pretty well.
She does have Myeloid Sarcoma and they are going to be talking to us about her treatment plan. It looks like treatment will start this coming Tuesday.
More details to come as we find out more. Keep the prayers coming today!!!!

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Please take a look at the Cure Search website and consider a way that you can help fight childhood cancer. It could be a financial donation, writing your congressman or woman or volunteering at a hospital or club that specializes in childhood cancer. Join in the fight!
Cancer kills more children than any other disease.
Each year cancer kills more children between 1 and 20 years of age than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and AIDS, combined.
Every year, over 12,500 young people are diagnosed with cancer.
Each year about 2,300 children and teenagers die from cancer.
One in every 330 Americans develops cancer before age 20.
Some forms of childhood cancer have proven to be so resistant that even in spite of the great research strides made, most of those children die.
Up to 75 percent of the children with cancer can now be cured.
More than 50 percent of children with metastatic disease still die despite aggressive, toxic chemotherapy regimens.
The causes of most childhood cancers are not yet known.
Eighty percent of the children who are diagnosed with cancer have disease which has already spread to distant sites in the body.
Ninety percent of children with a form of pediatric cancer are treated at one of the more than 200 Children's Oncology Group member institutions throughout the United States.
