Yes! We can have some hope now! Sucks when hope isn't even an option.

We're all done now actually and they only needed to slice one time! She's a bit worried about scars so I'll share your...

Wow, over a year since I posted here. Dropped the ball a bit but it's been a busy year... [emoji6]

Coming up on the third anniversary of the bone marrow transplant and fifth year since diagnosis....

Well, she's been out for a few days now and still feeling a bit cruddy. I'm guessing they missed a virus or something. Almost done with the antibiotics too. At the internal medicine department now so...

Thanks!

She was looking pretty bad last night. A lot of wheezing, coughing, and quite short of breath upon exertion. She has had a fair bit of fluids running constantly since she came in. But...

Thanks.

Long day. More tests. Isn't flu, heart seems fine, CT is good.

Although... her potassium was dangerously high. They've since given her meds to drop it, and it has. Her sodium was...

Hey guys, been a while for this. I'll update the long term later but more recently... She's back in the emergency room. She came down with something (cold, flu, i dont know) a few days ago. But since...

Lol, just that warrant in Guatemala for dog fights...

Thanks bro! I forgot to mention it also showed she has finally fully engrafted to the donor cells. So her dna is no longer hers.

Been meaning to update this but never seem to remember to...

The results to the bone marrow biopsy were excellent. Actually they were just about the best they possibly could be. The blast count...

Okay, its that time again. Earlier today she did another bone marrow aspiration to check it out. Going off the timeline in previous tests it should be about a week before results start coming in,...

Yep, been feeling pretty Blessed! :D Thanks guys!

Took longer than we thought for results but... ITS NOT CANCEROUS! Thank God! The pathology showed it was pre-cancerous and very Blessed to have caught it early. Also, her hemoglobin had been down a...

And she's out. Actually been done for a while but i couldn't post because i wasn't suppose to use my phone there. It went well and we're grabbing lunch.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and...

Thanks.

They just split us up and we'll see her in a few hours. Shouldn't be more than an hour in the OR though.

Well the surgery has been scheduled for the morning at 6:15. We were told its a minor surgery and that she will have conscious sedation. Thankfully cause going under is not something she was happy...

Okay, new updates.

A couple weeks ago her labwork showed a decent drop in her hemoglobin, down to 11.4 (normal is 12-16). Not good. They said it was probably a normal fluctuation but of course...

Thank you! I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas too!!!

About time I give an update for you guys.

She has been doing pretty well. The rash cleared up and hasn't caused any problems at all. She has been having a fair bit of pain in her hands and...

No problem, I still appreciate it. Also, its still bugging him off and on but no where near as bad.

Thanks Jim!

She has been discharged. Actually just left. They think it was an infection. Of the cause, i don't know. But they have had her on antibiotics and she has some pill form to continue....

Check that... The doc said he believes its acid reflux. I'm guessing a pretty severe case if it was that bad. Anyway, he is now discharged and back upstairs. I tell ya, having one as a patient is...

Well, new issue. Chris (my brother and Illuminator on here, who is also here with us in the hospital) woke up around 2am with pretty bad upper abdomen/chest pain with tightness. It has now moved to...

Me too Bob. That is very true though, better safe than sorry. And that's what i was telling her. She was kinda bummed and i told her at least its just a precautionary instance, instead of something...

Its much appreciated Jon! Thanks for keeping us in mind and lifted up in prayer!
