We have good news! Joy is responding very well to chemotherapy. Her white blood cell count fell from 100,000 to 18,000 over the course of the last couple days. (For the other non-Dr's out there, this is a very good thing.) She hasn't received the results of her Cytogenics test yet but will know much more when she does.
Although she had an infection in her arm that required her to take antibiotics and blood thinning medication, she was feeling okay this afternoon. She also received a new hairstyle from a special friend of hers. . .
That's all for now!

Joy and Ken...
We are thinking of you and will continue to keep you in our prayers! We wish you lots of peace and comfort during these trying times!
I love the blog idea...I have my own and it is a great way to stay in touch with everyone. Kudos for getting this up and running.
Your family sounds amazing and we will continue to use this site to see how Joy is doing.
With much love,

Joy & Ken:
We send our love to you both and your cute kids! Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers every minute of each day.
We look back fondly to our "Sherman Avenue days" with you both. We had such fun times. Remember the host a murder party we had at our house? Matt and I had a good belly laugh when we recalled Ken's Captain costume... with gray hair and all. We are trying desperately to find our photos and when we do, we will send them.
May the Spirit bless you with comfort and hope. Please give Joy a big hug and kiss from us!
Much love,
Matt, Erin, Sam, Jonah & Josh
Dear Ken and Joy,
I can't stand it that you are having this difficulty and I'm praying for a wonderful silver lining to this cloud. Lots of love and prayers.
Pat Graham and family
