We got an email this morning from Emily's NP. After we left the clinic yesterday, Dr. Link thought Emily looks so good, that he has canceled the PET scan that Emily was going to take at the end of Phase 2. Because she is looking so good and made it through Phase 2 without any complications, he doesn't think he needs to see a PET scan. Of course this is good news, Dr. Link has been treating Lymphoma patients for over 30 years, and that he feels she doesn't need the scan has to be considered good news. She will still have a CT scan, and if there are concerns, then they will re-order the PET scan. They want to reduce her radiation exposure as much as possible, so unless something changes she will only get 1 every 6 months while in Chemo.
Tomorrow I promise a video of Emily, you all need to see how well she is doing.

It was so great to see Emily today. She was as energetic as ever, dancing to her favorite songs by Hannah Montana and playing balloon volleyball with Mrs. Smith and me. It was so nice to be able to spend some time with her. What a cutie!!!
Love,
Kathy Ewers
Wow what amazing news!!! We are so happy that she is doing so great! Lots of love.
Just wanted to say,"Hi" from the Smithsters and Aunt Michele. What wonderful news!!!
Emily is was so good to see you and Hailey and mom today at school. You are a wonderful "big sister" - you saw that Hailey got a sticker and watched out for her while mom was talking with another parent. I am happy that you are feeling so good and that you had a fun visit with Mrs. Smith and Miss Ewers. Please stop in to see us and get a sticker whenever you are at school. We love to see your smiling face. I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend.
Great news. I guess we're not the only ones that think Emily's energy level is amazing -- the doctor thinks so too! Have a great weekend.
Love, Grannie & Grampa
It is encouraging to hear how well Emily is doing with her treatments. I am very thankful for that.
Keep up your strength, Emily!
Lots of Love,
