Thank you for your Prayers

This is a message from Naomi's parents, Nina and Jermaine:

God is good and he has heard and is answering the prayers we have sent up for Naomi. Naomi's healing journey will take the following path:

Phase 1: Induction: 4 weeks of intensive chemotherapy intended to remove all visible signs of leukemia
Phase 2: First Consolidation: 19 weeks of chemotherapy, followed by Second Consolidation (which lasts) 47 to 55 weeks) of chemotherapy, intended to remove hidden leukemia
Phase 3: Maintenance: 43 to 50 weeks of chemotherapy intended to prevent leukemia from coming back
(Total duration of Chemotherapy is approximately 2.5 years)

We are thankful that Naomi has completed Phase 1 and will start Phase 2 on June 7th, 2006. For this phase she will have to go to Stanford once a week for all her Chemo appointments.
