Plan B

Hello All,
As you know, Trevor, Isabella, and I arrived on Friday, December 24th.... the same day that my mom was admitted into the hospital. We have been taking it day by day. The fever has been up and down and the antibiotics that she was given led her to an opportunistic bacterial infection (C DIFF) which was treated by different antibiotics. She has had a rash, which they say is due to GVHD and is being treated with topical creams. Today, the doctor came to give preliminary results of the biopsy. It showed 30% blasts, which is up from 20% since the last biopsy. The plan is to get the bacterial infection under control and begin another round of Vidaza to try to reduce the blasts. Another biopsy will be taken in late January. While not great news, we are hoping that another round will reduce the blasts and that the donor cells will continue to take over and do what they need to do. The doctor stated that the rash may be a sign that they are beginning to take charge...and since they just started giving her the rash and fever it may be too soon to tell. In the meantime, Trevor, Isabella and i have been spending most of our time at the hospital. Bella has packed her toys up and taken her show on the road. Grandmom has taught her a few new games and she has also taught some to grandmom. There has been dress up, dancing and even some singing. Grandmom has been very busy with Bella and we have enjoyed watching them interact...and give us a break from daily candyland...Please continue to send strong good vibes our way.
Thanks
Alexia
