The new drug

I have new info on the drug "Gleeveck"... I think we may have the spelling right. LOL! Our good friend's Kelly and Steve over in New York brought us this gleam of hope today! Kelly has an uncle that has Leukemia with the Philadelphia Chromosome. He works at at drug research company, and has taken Gleeveck for the past 7 years... he is still in remission to this day!! He has to take the drug... but, it is working!! Praise the Lord!! WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THIS NEWS!!
THANKS KELLY!!!!!!! YOU MADE OUR DAY MORE BEAUTIFUL!!

Other news:
Jaden had a rough night with the side effects of the cancer drugs, and his port cath is giving the nurses heck. So, we got to sleep around 4 am. LOL! Jaden's diabetes is finally getting under control, as we are basing his meal units on his carb intake now. He is still on the Lantus (Long acting insulin), and takes a slide scale with his meals.

Thank you so much for the cards, gifts, and for the prayers!!
Praise the Lord for His mercy, and for His strength!
Love in Christ
Greg, Heather, Jaden, Dylan, and Alaina

Greg,

Lori and I are constantly praying for you, Heather, and the kids as you all are giving great amounts of devotion, care, and concern for Jaden. May the Lord Jesus Christ sustain you all, comfort you with the comfort that comforts like no other.
