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.

So much talk about platelets

We spent some time at the hospial today visiting with Mom. Kim spent the night with her so Dad could come home to get some much needed rest. Today lots of information was given about platelets and counts and parameters and all kinds of technical jargon, but the bottom line is that the "matched" platelets are holding at an acceptable level. Yesterday Mom's sister Karen and her neice Eileen showed up unexpectedly and will be here for a few days. This was a very welcome surprise and will allow for Dad to join us all for grandson Bryce's missionary homecoming. We walked the halls with Mom for her daily exercise and she just gets out there and goes. That is after she gets all gowned up and gets her oxegyn and face mask on. She is still feeling really good and was watching a movie this evening with Eileen. Please keep the prayers coming as they truly are blessings from heaven.
