As has been the trend lately, Amy had another good day. She is still rather board having to constantly sit in a hospital room. However at this time in the process, boring is a good thing. The chemo has now been over for a while and the blood levels have reached their lowest points. Now it is a wait and see game. This means that the doctors are waiting to see what happens to her blood levels. The blood levels should begin to rise over the coming days and weeks. Once her blood levels get close to normal levels, she will be deemed travel worthy and we will then travel Duke to meet with the bone marrow transplant specialist. This process of waiting for the blood levels to rise could take up to a month and possibly longer. She has still not had a fever since Wednesday, so we are hoping that soon she will able to get out the hospital, at least for a few days.

Passing on a note from Larry Schoppmeyer:
ReplyDelete"Tell Amy losing hair ain't so bad. I was about her age when mine left and never came back. Her hair loss will only be temporary".
Now is the time Amy can try a new color or new style if she wants. Hang in there. Mike & Joan
ReplyDeleteHey Amy,
ReplyDeleteIf you would like something to pass the time, my dual enrollment students, the ones who are taking a college class while in high school, would like to know more about your specific type of leukemia. If you are too weak, we completely understand, but they have been intrigued and we check on you everyday in my class. You can send me an email directly to
lbowling-angle@alleghany.k12.va.us. We noticed Michael mentioned your mutations and we would like to research the specific type you have if you don't mind. Our feelings won't be hurt if you tell us no. We love you and are thinking of you everyday.
