Tonight's report from Stella's dad:
"We went out on a limb and tried a chemo drug that was not approved by FDA for her type of disease and also not covered by our health insurance. It seems to be making a huge difference. We are not in complete remission but looks to be headed that way. Seems almost to good to be true as it was only a few weeks ago that our oncologist said she may only have a few weeks to live. If we can make it to remission, we will push forward with an urgent bone marrow transplant. Whatever the case, we are staying in the positive lane with foot to the floor! Thank you so much for the prayers. All of our love."
"Stella's disease has come back rather aggressively. The doctors are not sure what they can do at this point but, as always, we are committed to staying positive. We were able to come home to celebrate Christmas today and that will be nice. All our love, Bryan"
