Yes, 34 days at City Of Hope..right now it's the 'room of hope' for Becky. A hope and prayer to get some strong signals toward leaving this City Of Hope for the "City Of Home"..
Her numbers fell, white cells are now 2100, platelets approx. 20K. She will need platelets for the internal scope tomorrow. As mentioned in yesterday's blog, this procedure will identify if the Graft vs. Host disease is indeed rearing it's head, and if so, which path of treatment will be necessary to ward it off. Becky feeling generally OK today, considering this up and down phase she has entered. She loves her new satin pillow case..it feels good on her head...the hair stubs rub/glide smooth on the surface, in her world, that's a welcomed comfort.
An important note** re: VISITING : Yes, visiting is allowed, but you will wear mask and gloves. CLARIFICATION** You CAN VISIT IF you have had the swine flu or 'normal flu vaccination, BUT NO visit if you had the NASAL vaccination..stay tuned if this changes! Her attention span is limited, but visits can do her good. If she is awake. But we all know the hospital is quite a drive for most.. So no problem if visiting is done after she has been home for some time.
There is much to be thankful for..no matter what..
We are so thankful to the families who have and are now overseeing Abbey after school and into the dinner hour. She is getting some good nourishment...But I pour cereal really good in the morning, and Dr. Pepper is just as good as orange juice in the AM...yeah, OK..more humor sorta..
Celebrate Life! We are grateful to the God of this universe who gives us this life..and the promise what is beyond it..
Much Love,
Bill & Becky
