Hospital today..long day..Labs, Doctor consultation and then an IV that alone lasted 4 hours..As mentioned, this special IV is getting rid of the some of Becky's 'old' anti-bodies (not the donor's)..allowing the new to do a more hostile takeover and change the blood type more rapidly...which is and has been desired. Becky is weak from just being in the hospital for over a month, weak from the meds, and a bit weighed-down from the undesired fluid in her legs & feet. But, we know in time this will disappear. It will. Dr. Snyder said he hoped this bout with Graft vs. Host would be a 'one and done' encounter. We pray this will not reoccur within a few months. We ask you to pray this...
Becky is in a decent frame of mind..just tired..simply tired. But, she is absolutely amazing in her pill-intake organization. (takes approx. 40 per day!) Incredible. We continue to infuse an IV nightly for the next three weeks...but it is not as time consuming as first onset. It has been tapered down..yip-pee..
Hope you are having a yip-pee day or night. Good health and blessings to you..
Celebrate life..
Bill, Becky and Abbey..
