Honestly, not entirely sure I have the words to put this all together, but I will attempt...
Camryn's doctor called today and her bone marrow showed an early stage relapse of her APL...
That sentence hasn't even really sunk in yet...it's whirling around in my head and heart and it hurts. The hurt is drowning me right now...
Right now we wait for her doctors to let us know when a bed will be open and then we'll be admitted for our first round of arsenic trioxide treatment. Hopefully, we'll be able to come home after a week and then we'll do the rest of the arsenic as an out patient.
After the arsenic treatment is over...we head to a bone marrow transplant...again.
So it begins...we face a battle that we thought we'd won, but apparently the leukemia was a stronger foe that we'd thought. We fight again...we juggle schedules, appointments, time away, two little ones, hospital life and so much more. We fight to believe in what we know to be true...we fight to hold on tight.
We pray...we pray for protection as the arsenic runs through Camryn's veins...that her body will respond well.
We pray...that the Lord would do what He does best...redeem his innocent ones in a fallen, broken world.

Dear Jason & Dana
I've been reading your blog through the Sojourners prayer email link. Your last entry has broken my heart and made me cry with you. What can I say? May the Lord himself give you the comfort and strength you need... as only he is able! May you be able to continue to trust him and glorify him as you have been doing.
Praying for a miracle. Yours in His lovely Name,
Tom
Praying so hard for you guys! We love you!
