Ok... there are several "remissions" that Jaden has to go through to be pronounced in Total Remission. He has reached the first stage which is: Morphologic remission
The next phase will be not detecting the Philadelphia Chromosome and it is called:
cytogynetic remission
Once Jaden reaches cytogynetic remission... the Chromosome will be surpressed, or gone.
The last phase that he needs to reach is on a molecular leval... and will be as if he never had Leukemia... it is called:
molecular remission
We are one down... and two to go!! After that we just need to pray that the Gleevec will keep Jaden from getting the Leukemia back... due to the Chromosome problem.
Thank you for your prayers!!! We are grateful for your faithfulness!!
Love in Christ
Greg, Heather, Jaden, Dylan, and Alaina
