Leukemia 101

This blog is for and dedicated to my mom Robin. Robin was diagnosed with Accute Myelogenous Leukemia on March 16th 2010. After some tests to find out the cause of her fatigue, it was revealed that she had a low hemoglobin level. upon further tests and a bone marrow biopsy doctors determined that she has Leukemia. So with that being said this is her story.

Home and comfortable

Mom has been home since last Thursday and has had too many visitors to count. She is fairly comfortable and has had only the occasional bout of nausea. She is not eating much but every so often will come up with a special request...She made Dads mouth drop the other day when she asked for a Big Mac. So we got her one. The only real discomfort that she has had is the swelling and pain in her knee. Her orthopedic surgeon who replaced her knees came to the house and drained some fluid off the joint and she felt much better. For now we are trying to keep her as comfortable as possible. She and Dad have had several phone calls and have enjoyed catching up with friends and family. We were able to get her to a family portrait session on last Friday which went very well. We are so grateful that she was able to get there. We will so cherish those last memories of us all together and are trying to make the most of the time that we have left. Please continue to send love and prayers our way. Much love -Keely
