Again, there's not much to report from here. I've had to get magnesium several times (I'm actually getting some right now) and that is never fun. The good news is they are giving me the day off tomorrow - they feel my levels will be high enough after this dose of magnesium that I will not need anything tomorrow. All the preliminary results from my bone marrow biopsy have been good but we're still waiting on the percent donor/me.

RETRACTION :) - before we left the clinic today some results from a couple of days ago came back and a bacteria had shown up in my urine. So this means I have to get an antibiotic by IV for 30 minutes for at least the next three days. So unfortunately I do not get to take tomorrow off... but hopefully a day off is in the near future.

Thanks, Amy

  3. That day off will be so appreciated when it does finally get here. Until then, we will continue to thank God for all the blessings he has already bestowed. You seem to be over the recent continuous nausea... You are HOME with Michael...and You have taught many of us the true meaning of strength.
    With Love and Prayers,
