100%

We received the results of Rylie's blood DNA test today. Drum roll . . . RYLIE IS 100% ENGRAFTED!!!  This means that all of Rylie's white blood cells are from the donor. She will be tested again at day +42, 60, and 100 to make sure things haven't changed. We are relieved to have the first test come back the best we could hope for. Hallelujah!  

Rylie's CT scan went well, and she didn't mind having to wear her mask since it meant some time out of her room. The doctor just came in to say that the chest looks a little better than the last one. We are waiting for the radiologist to read the abdomen scan which may take a couple of days. So far so good. 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Thanks for following Rylie's journey. We know you will rejoice with us in this wonderful news.

YES!!!

Proverbs 3:5–8

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."
