The week after Christmas we found out that Jesse's grandma was diagnosed with Leukemia...and given 2 weeks to live. Through connections she was able be seen by an amazing doctor in Utah at the Huntsman Institute and she started chemo. This past weekend ALL of the family came into town for a concert in her honor...she is an amazing composer and song writer. Yesterday we found out this news....it is truly a Miracle and we are SO thankful to our Heavenly Father!! Here is a forward from one of her daughters..."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 anticipations 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/grandmother/sister/friend, Rosalind. We are so grateful!"

Wow! I can't believe that! I was there when you thought she wasn't going to make it much longer. That truly is a miracle. It's amazing what faith, prayer, and the priesthood can do. I'm happy for your family! I bet the concert was amazing.
I seriously had goosebumps. What a miracle and blessing in your lives!

That is amazing! I didn't even realize all of that. What a special experience for all of you to remember.
Thanks for the fun the other night!
