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.

Round 1

Things are happening so fast I really don't know where to start...As you all know by now Mom was diagnosed with Accute Meyologenous Leukemia (AML). She has been admitted to LDS hospital in Salt Lake and will be enjoying an extended stay of up to 6 weeks. On Thursday Mom, Dad, Kim and Blake went to the hospital for a consultation at the Leukemia center and after determining their course of action they admitted her to the hospital on the spot. Her doctor Dr. Hoda (sp?) wants to treat her aggressively. Today there was an issue with her kidney function so they decided to cut her first round of chemotherapy by half. She has several IV's hooked up and has received two units of blood and will get another tonight. Cards, letters, calls and prayers are all welcome. Address to come later. She is in room 9 at the LDS hospital in SLC.
