Detour

I know 2 things:
1. Cancer Sucks
2. I can't control it

Cancer is in the drivers seat. Our mission is destroy it, dodging bullets, tricking it with transfusions & being ready when it takes a sharp turn.
Today, we had to take a detour from the treatment plan.

Mom was scheduled to start treatment for this transfusion on Monday Dec 10. Bone Morrow biopsy came back yesterday that the blasts in her morrow were 19%.

20% is considered Leukemia.
The entire treatment plan just took a right turn.
I've been here at LDS for 13 hours- eyes are burning- so I will make this short and fill you in on the details tomorrow.


She tries to keep smilin as she is being admitted. Her hair will be gone soon.

Found this box of tissue at the new Trader Joe's

It's like the Christmas Story when the mom dresses her son in his snow suit.
 She leaves this room, she has to put on the infection armor... over and over...
masks and gloves.

 Thanks cousins Jody & Nedra for making the softest blanket EVER! She loves it!

More details when I can think:)

  2. I just found this site through facebook and I am THRILLED to be able to get updates. I've been talking with my parents and know a little about what is going on. I've been so worried about you, Chari, and your sibs, knowing that you are all having to shoulder this. Such a hard thing. And your sweet mother. What an incredibly difficult thing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as is Shawn. Thank you for starting this up to keep us posted. Hugs to you all.
