Happy New Year!

We want to wish you all a very Happy New Year.  We hope that you had a memorable and restful holiday with your family and friends.  We also hope that 2013 will bring you more blessings.  For our family, the blessings have just begun.

Jayson had his last chemo on January 7th.  He then had a bone marrow biopsy on January 15th and a PET scan the following day.  His doctor called us yesterday with the results of the both tests.  We are happy to share with you that all the tests were negative for any sign of cancer.  Praise God!   

For now, he still has some issues with his right hip and is scheduled for an MRI on February 1st.  He will be seen by orthopedics and may need hip surgery at a later time.  He has a follow-up appointment with his oncologist in the middle of February and will continue to be checked on a regular basis to make sure he remains in remission.  For now, we will celebrate this great news and pray for his full recovery.

Jayson's doctor has given him the okay to return to school next week.  Just in time for the beginning of the new quarter on Tuesday, January 22nd..  It's been a long year and he missed being around with his friends on regular basis.  It'll be good for him to get back to his normal routine and experience his first day of actually being in high school.

Thank you all for walking with Jayson on his journey and for all your prayers and support.  I know this positive outcome could not have been possible without everyone's prayers, support and more importantly with God's mercy.

May God continue to bless each and everyone one of you.
