Overall, doing OK..she is 'on course'..Immune system (white count) very, very low, but again, this is part of the procedure..
She is weak..Solid foods may not be desired for while, but will get plenty of nourishment from IV's..We have been told a few times, she will lose her hair in a few days..BUT so far, still so wonderful to grab the brush and stroke her lovely golden hair..
Still requires platelets, (again, part of the plan) but we hope & pray this part of her life will soon be in past. She cannot go out of her room until white count ascends to desirable level.
AND the hospital just implemented policy of NO children under 18 allowed in patient rooms, not even allowed on floor/outside lobby..of course, due to that wonderful H1N1 virus..Abbey was able to visit on Saturday..time will tell if this policy will relax..We do understand the reasons why..just a bit difficult on children and patients!..
Thank you as always for your prayers and support..We truly feel them. God is the ultimate overseer of this time and place...His hands are seen everywhere. WE pray all is well with you and your family..
Celebrate Life!
Bill and Becky

Hi, guys,
ReplyDeleteDebbie, AJ & Cory Anderson here...FINALLY writing a comment, altho' we've continued to pray for you thru this whole process. We know God will be glorified in this, cuz that's how you guys live your lives - for HIM!
Sorry about that new hospital policy of no kids -UGH! That's not fair to Abbey at all (not to mention you 2)! And please remind Becs that no matter how much/little hair she has - the love of God COMPLETELY SHINES from her always - that's all that matters in this life, anyway.
And you, Bill - it's so refreshing & encouraging to read of the obvious deep love that you have for Becky...you are a WONDERFUL guy, as we've always known!
WE LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH & continue to pray for complete healing!
My goodness. I wish I could hug Becky right now. I hope that she will get through this phase quickly. I will continue to pray.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the hospital policy change. The hospital I work at just implemented the same precautions. Very difficult for everyone but so very, very important to control the spread of this stinking flu.
Love to you all,
Amy
