Word of the day.....

Remission


re·mis·sion (rĭ-mĭsh'ən)
n.
  • The act of remitting.
  • A condition or period in which something is remitted.
  • A lessening of intensity or degree; abatement.
  • Medicine. Abatement or subsiding of the symptoms of a disease.
  • The period during which the symptoms of a disease abate or subside.
  • Release, as from a debt, penalty, or obligation.
  • Forgiveness; pardon.


I just received a call from the Dr. with the results of today's bone marrow biopsy. She thought since she had gotten the news so quickly, she would pass it onto us so that we could have some good news to start our weekend.


I will have Tanya post later all the other info she received from the Dr.'s visit today, but I know there are plenty of people who are checking regularly for status updates - especially on Fridays.

We hope you all enjoy your weekend as much as we will!!!
