The words directly below is from Cherie's post that I pasted from our family chat that I felt needed to be posted here to update everyone else that may be following the blog. This was posted yesterday afternoon right after receiving the news from mom's doctor. Wondrous News!!

If you don't believe in miracles first know that this was the most amazing, spiritual weekend for us all but I'll have to write about this past weekend later because I first have to tell you the most amazing news!!!!!........

Mom (Rosalind) had her long awaited appointment with Dr. Crane about her bone marrow results. We waited in anticipation at her 2:45 appointment (Mom, dad and me, Cherie.) We had many questions to ask but before we could ask any questions whatsoever, Dr. Crane (without any expression) announced:

Rosalind M. Luke Crosby is officially in remission!!! They can not find any cancer whatsoever!!!!!!!

We all gasped, my dad jumped out of his chair, clapped his hands and said, "Rosalind, start writing that opera!" He then said, "Rosalind, we're taking a trip to Hawaii!!"

I'll give more detail later because I just have to get the word out to all of you. I know mom wants to call her brothers and sister and talk to them individually.

I just have to add that both Dr. Crane (Sacramento Doctor) and Dr. Shammi (Huntsman doctor, top in the world) told us that it would be impossible for her to go into remission. The type of chemo she would need to go into remission would kill her.

We don't know how long the remission will last, that is up to the Lord, but this we know, that miracles happen. It is through the many, many prayers from you and countless others, her name put on the prayer roll in the temple, the many times we have fasted, and of course the expertise of doctors (even if they didn't believe it could happen), and the great outpouring of love that has brought about this beautiful miracle in the life or our mother/sister/friend, Rosalind.
