Jan 25

Sorry for not writing in a while... things have been busy around here. My mom went back to the hospital on Friday for some blood work. Unfortunately, during that time she had a slight fever, so they decided to keep her there. She has been there since :( It's hard because she wants to be home. Ever since then she has been running fevers. They don't know what the cause is but they keep trying different general antibiotics to fight off whatever it might be. She won't be able to leave until her while blood cells go up high enough that her body can fight on its own. We need your prayers...PLEASE pray that her white blood cells go up so that she can spend some time at home before the transplant. Her spirits are good and she is talking and moving around normally thankfully, but she really wants to get out of the hospital!

We don't have much news on the transplant yet. They are thinking it will be around the second or third week of February. We have been in touch with a boy who had the same thing as my mom and had a transplant 3 months ago. He had slight issues with the transplant (from his body rejecting the donor's cells) but overall he is doing good. He also was treated at Dana Farber. He is only 21 and is so positive. It has been a blessing to be in contact with him. Please keep him in your prayers also! We hope to meet him soon!
