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.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Well March is almost done, but here in Utah it sure don't look like spring. It has been snowing all day. It was nice to watch outside Auntie Robin's window. Auntie Robin was pretty tired today. I think all the treatments are catching up with her. Uncle Keith decided that there wasn't enough excitment in their lives and decided to wreck on his 4-wheeler. He is fine just bruised and beaten up. He stayed home today rest after his exciting evening in the emergency room yesterday. Auntie Robin got more platelets and whole blood today to help with her blood chemistry. The Doctors want to do some more rounds of chemo around the 30th day of her treatment and then let her go home for a little while until the next treatment. Hopefully everything will go well. One concern however is that Auntie Robin was running a temperature today of 100 so since her immune system is at its lowest that is being monitored closely. Auntie Robin is still in good spirits but is ready to go home as soon as they let her. We were walking the corridors the other day and she is all gloved and gowned and masked and we walked in the corridor where the elevators were and she said lets make a break for it, but I told her that just like the convicts wear orange coveralls that yellow gown is a dead give away. We told this story to one of the nurses and he said that they have snipers on the roof with tranquilzer darts so don't even try it. Thanks for all the great prayers. Blessings are pouring in with great test results. Auntie Robin sends her love.
