Prayer Warriors: Sweet Paisley Grace needs our prayers. The moment any parent hears the word remission after the first round of chemo, the initial reaction is to be overfilled with joy. In most cases, the unspoken emotion and word that floats through their head in the exact same moment of joy, is relapse. We live in each day, fighting alongside our child, and will usually never speak the word relapse outloud...but we live in fear. We watch every movement of our child, analyze every tiny cough or bruise, and wonder in times of sickness if It is back. Cancer is one of those things...it always has the chance of rearing its ugly head at anytime during treatment and afterwards. We hold our breath waiting for the bone marrow aspiration results each and every spinal tap which would be the best indicator of relapse. My heart is broken tonight as I share Samantha Wrights post on Paisley. Even my words seem to be failing me tonight as I sit staring at the screen, blurry with tears filling my eyes...so all I can do is ask that you pray. Pray that maybe this only appears to be a relapse but further testing will show that it is not. Pray that if it is a relapse, that swift treatment and protocol will be established by the Shands medical team. Pray for Samantha...as a mother and Paisleys rock and advocate that she can keep her head held high, have faith in the days to come, and have an overwhelming sense of peace that our God, who is sovereign in all His plans, is holding Paisley tightly in His grip. We love you dearly sweet girl as well as your momma...and will be holding you up in prayer, love, and support unremittingly every step of the way. I encourage you to follow Paisleys FB page for the most recent updates at Prayers for Precious Princess Paisley. Samantha posting on Prayers for Precious Princess Paisley A little while ago I got the dreaded news I have feared hearing since I was told Paisley was in remission! Her bone marrow aspiration came back and Paisley has relapsed! Her cells have a characteristic to them that look like her original slides that were done back in January. But no blasts have come back and she has tons of neutraphils. So it seems we have caught her relapse in the very beginning stages. More testing is being done and we will be admitted back on Friday to begin a heavy hitter chemo cycle to get her back in remission and start the bone marrow transplant process. However, since her relapse has happened so early on in treatment, her chances of beating her cancer have significantly dropped. There is still some hope that becausse there are no blasts which is usually an indicator of leukemia, that these cells could not be leukemia. But that hope is very small. Her oncologist is almost positive this is early relapse. But since there is some hope, however small, please please please pray for a miracle!!!!!!!! No relapse, no leukemia!!!!! I cant lose her!!!!!
