Hallelujah!

Mom's bone marrow biopsy results came back and they couldn't find any leukemia! Praise the Lord! Also, the results of her colonoscopy showed that she had colitis (inflammation of the colon) as well as an ulcerated colon. They took a biopsy on the colitis and we are awaiting results of that (hopefully will receive on Monday).

Good News Report: The doctors were so excited to share the news of the bone marrow biopsy with mom. They couldn't see any leukemia in the bone marrow (not to say that there couldn't be any, but it is still great news!). They can't call it remission yet until further screening is done, but what they did see means that she won't need any more chemo as of now. Phew! Also, her bleeding has stopped which is amazing! So right now their focus is to get mom strong and as healthy as they can.

She has been doing so well that they just moved her out of ICU into the Oncology Unit on the 5th Floor. She is in great spirits and is enjoying having her family close by. We're trying to make her stop being so social so she can get some rest, but you know her...that's hard to do!

On Day 28 they will be doing another bone marrow biopsy to see if they find any leukemia. So until then, we as a family are just thanking the Lord for today and rejoicing in life!

Blessings & Love to you all!

Lindsay & the entire Beall Gang

Praise the Lord! Isn't He good? I was unable to sleep last night and was up praying for you Pam and God's healing touch. I thank God that you have such strong, faith filled kids. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I look forward to reading many more positive posts on your recovery.

Dear Pam and Family,

What great news! You are one strong cookie, Pam! ...and now you're going to make some more new friends on the 5th floor and send your beautiful laughter down those halls. Don't forget to rest a little, though (my mother voice speaking).

Much love,
George and Denie

Pamela Sue,

You're living proof of the power of prayer. Wow! What an amazing testimony. You certainly have many prayer warriors on your behalf.

We were really happy to know that most of your family is with you. We're with you all the way too!

Have a good day, Fred and Janet

Hooray!!! I was just thrilled with the good news. I give the Lord praise for His provisions for you. I couldn't stop smiling all day:). I was very excited to see Sean and Courtney at church and hear the optimism in his voice. It was fun to congratulate them and know that relationship, too, is a gift for Sean and your family. I pray for strength as your body continues to heal. I am sure having all of your kids around this weekend was so wonderful for you. You are so blessed! Love to you, my friend! Caron

We are all so happy for the good news. Bob and I have had you in our prayers daily. Thanks so much for letting me know what was going on. I have now read my first blog and learned that I have to bypass Google Search and use the Internet to do it. God bless you and every one of your family members. ginger

Hi Pam,
I just heard via Jean, via Helen, that you're not feeling so well. Unfortunately, I've heard this is part of the ugly process, but I'm so sorry you're having to go through it.

I'm thinking of you.
Love, Denie
