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.

Day two

First and foremost I would like to thank all of the friends and family that have stopped by to visit mom over the last two days. I know that means a lot to her and dad that you would take the time to check in on her. Today was a tougher day than yesterday as the effects of the chem are starting to set in. She a couple bouts of nausea and two more units of blood today. She has had 5 different types of IV's at the same time ranging from the chemo to nausea med's to maintence fluids and anti-biotics. As you can understand at this time her immune system is greatly depleated so again cards, letters, and visits are always welcome as these will lift her spirits but please remember that if you or any immediate family member is ill you will not be admitted. Please check in with the nurses station for instruction on hand washing etc... Also no fresh flowers please.
