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.

We are home now and it was really good to see Mom. She looks and feels great! It almost hard to believe that she is sick. Everything continues to go well and today she received another bag of platelets to continue to raise her levels. A normal healthy persons levels are around 100 thousand to 400 thousand, and Even though she is only at 39 thousand it is a good level for her as they will be rebuilding her body little by little. She had a room full of visitors today many family, friends, and church members continue to visit on a regular basis. It was such a blessing to have Eileen there to stay with Mom so that Dad could be with the rest of us in Elko for Bryce's homecoming. We sure did miss Mom though. Even though she is doing so well please don't forget to keep her in your prayers as we have a long road to haul.
