A week

Adrienne has been on the vent for a week now. It all seems so unreal and time moves in slow motion. She's about the same as yesterday. They had to go up a little on the vent but they tell me this is nothing to worry about, just a small adjustment. She still has no white count or platelets so there will be no chemo tomorrow. Billi and enzymes are up again too. They have her in a yellow gown so between the gown and her yellow skin, she looks like a lemon. We've seen this before during transplant so I'm not super worried. Her white count is the big concern because she can't have chemo until it comes up.

Hoping, hoping, hoping Adrienne's counts get going soon, so you can keep moving forward.

Ahh..darn that white count. Hope they have something else they can do to help boost it up so the chemo can start again....even though that will knock the counts out of whack again.

Some good news I just saw on FB....Arif and Rachael had their baby girl today...Leyla. He put up a couple of pics...she's beautiful : )

Alison,

I know how hard it is dealing with low counts...so frustrating and scary at the same time. I continue to hope and pray.

Love,

Jane

Poor Adrienne.........she's in no fit state to come back with a reply to you calling her a lemon!! ;0)
Hoping the steps forward continue and that those white counts start to build so the chemo can continue to fight off the beast....love as always.........<3
