BEST THANKSGIVING EVER !!!
We just got the news that the pathology report revealed no leukemic cells. This is the news we've been waiting for. This means that Jan is officially in "remission", which means that we can now set our sites on going home. We will have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. The plan now is to build Jan's white count up to an acceptable level which will make it safe for her to leave the hospital. This will include daily injections in the abdomen to help speed the process of producing those white cells. She will gladly endure these daily injections since each one will put us one day closer to going home. We want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Obviously many of your have a close connection with a higher authority and your prayers were answered. As each of you give blessing this Thursday, please say a special "Thank You" for this good news.

JB, I am ecstatic to hear the good news!! I know the road to remission has been a long and rough one, but you’ve finally reached your destination. YEA! I'll continue to pray for you to heal, your doctors to make good decisions, the nurses to respond to AND meet your needs, and for excellent results from the new medication. I want you to make lots and lots of healthy new WBCs during this week then you can have some turkey and dressing, OK?
Love you, love you…
Your Sis Trish
What fantastic news!! My Dad, Sisters and Brother join me in celebrating your wonderful news. When we all get together on Thursday we will say a special prayer for you that you will continue to fight this disease and be able to enjoy Christmas at home with your family. Much love from your McKibben cousins and Uncle Bubba. Donna
JanJan, My happy tears are flowing in gratitude to God for answering our prayers. This is indeed a miracle. May God continue to bless you "little one" so you can be well and strong again.
I love you, Mom
What incredible news!! God does answer prayers - sometimes not in our timing or in our ways, but this time He showed mercy and grace. We are so happy for you.
We will certainly give thanks this Thursday for your healing and will continue to pray for a quick recovery.
God's love & peace,

I had a wonderful wakeup call today from Mom - at first I thought I was dreaming! But I realized that it was answered prayer and the grace of God. All of us in Georgia are thrilled and will be embracing your news as we go into this, indeed, Thankful season - what a symbolic time to get this great bit of news. I love you and wish I was there to kiss you and give you a big hug!! Love you always, Lainey
Jan and Tony,
Your good news is 100% joyful & I have instant tears to prove it!
WOW! This is what we have all been praying for since 'day one'.
Way to pounce Cat Lady!
Guess that bad ol' Lew Keemia heard your 'fur'ious Cat Lady Roar, and you scared it away.
Your news is.....well.....it's.....
Supercalafragilisticexpialodotious!(Okay, sure, I probably spelled it wrong, but REALLY, WHO CARES??)

We are all so ridiculously happy out here in Utah!! What wonderful news!! The kids were very pleased to know that their prayers have been answered. Camille said "it's a good thing we have Jesus so we can pray to him to make Jan better, and it worked". It is truly a time to be thankful and remember how good God is. Thank goodness for miracles and the wonders of science and medicine! I'm so glad that when we come to visit (in just 23 days!) that we won't have to do it in the hospital. I'm so thrilled! We love you and miss you. Now let's get those WBC numbers up there!! lots and lots of love!!
Lalania, Anna, Camille and Lucas
YEAH!!!!!!!
Jan, that is just awesome news!!! We are so happy for you and your family. I guess the power of prayer is stronger than we realize. We will give thanks this week for many things, but especially yfor our miracle. Take care, get strong and look forward to a very special holiday season.
Hugs!
Aunt Jan way to go girl! I knew you could do it. We're so proud of you! This news is going to give us an even better Thanksgiving but I know it will not compare with the joy of yours. Good to get the leukemia licked. Now let's get your strength back and get you home! Congrats again from your nephew Steven and his family - Shannon, Elise, and Brannan.
What glorious news, my friend! You've been on my mind constantly and now our prayers have been answered. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family who loves you so and know that we are all out here saying "Thanks" for answering our prayers with a big YES!!!!
