This week was amazing (mostly) as we enjoyed the company of Alexia and Isabella from Thursday to Monday. That gave us all much to be thankful for on Thanksgiving :)
As we previously posted, Carol started the new Vidaza treatment on Monday. Nausea and all that follows lingered for the rest of the day, only to subside after some of the medication kicked in late at night time. Another stronger anti-nausea medication was given to her today and so far there are no signs of discomfort. Hooray!!!!
5 more Vidaza treatments are left which will be done by next Tuesday.
Another bone morrow biopsy will be done by the END of December to determine if the results are already sufficient for the next step. Transfuse Lymphocytes from the original donor. Moffitt has already begun with the request procedures.
Saturday Carol needed a blood transfusion to bump up her otherwise low red counts and while having the transfusion at SMH, Alexia and Isabella came to visit and really brighten her day.
The rest of the weekend with Alexia and Isabella was full of fun activities, with a couple of runs to the beach, a visit to the playground and the usual fun at home. For Thanksgiving we were joined by Joe and Joyce (aside from Alexia and Bells). Also enjoyed were the fabulous meals that Carol so diligently had prepared. All organic and homemade.
We're looking forward to Tuesday which will bring the end of the Vidaza treatment as well as our visit with Uncle Teddy and Aunt Judy!
More updates soon.
Thank you.
Jaime
