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.

Tuesday, March 30, 2010

Since Keely is in DC till Saturday, Eileen will be filling in for her. We visited with Auntie Robin today and she is feeling much better than yesterday. She ate well and her platelet count has bumped the highest yet at 44000 however it dropped but not as low as yesterday so she is retaining more platelets which is good. The 4th Doctor came in and visited her today and told her that the bone marrow transplant would not be necessary and that some more rounds of chemo would have to happen. Auntie Robin seemed pleased with the news of no bone marrow transplant but if the chemo does not do all it needs to do the bone marrow transplant is still on the table. Auntie Robin remains in great spirits and has told me of her great faith in the Lord to heal her so keep up all the prayers and great thoughts for her. She knows she has a lot of friends and family that are out there with prayers and love for her speedy recovery and health. Keep up all the prayers they are working and Auntie Robin is feeling the positive blessings.
