Elizabeth Grace - New Update
UPDATE 12:30 PM Today
The U/S showed lots of fluid with something in it so they are going to put a needle in her belly and drain some, they will be able to test it and also hopefully relieve some pressure. Her kidneys are a big concern right now. We just put a catheter in her to measure all her urine accurately and we are going to try some other drugs, the Lasix isnt working anymore. The U/S didn't show her kidneys to be any worse so hopefully relieving some pressure might help her pee. The good news for today is the U/S showed her liver to look much better!!! So, we think the Rituximab is definitely working but just taking a toll on her little body. Her seizure was 36 hours after the first dose of Rituximab and they are thinking as the drug is killing the tumor cells its causing some inflamation. So, we are NOT going to give her DJs cells today, as she does not need any more stress on her body right now. I will keep you all updated as we desperately need your prayers. Thank you

I can't fathom what you must be going through. I'll quote what a prayer warrior friend of mine says, "Don't tell God how big your storm is; tell your storm how big your God is!"
Elizabeth Grace's name will go in our intercessory prayer book at church on Sunday. Many prayers going your way to lift you and Elizabeth Grace up!
Grace,
Janet

Dear Janet,
Thank you so so much!
Elizabeth is not my daugther; she is my BFF's daughter. I'm sorry for any confusion. If you'd like, you can go to the caring bridge page and sign up for automatic emails when Michelle updates on Elizabeth's status.
Thank you for placing her on the prayer book at your church.
