Busy Week

Well...we've had a busy past week.  Last Monday, mom went in for her weekly lab work, which showed that her kidney levels were elevated and her hemoglobins were low.  Therefore she was admitted into St. Johns hospital.  During her stay, they gave her 4 units of blood and lots of fluids.  The doctor's also decided to discontinue her current medication treatment due to it possibly contributing to some of her kidney problems.  She's also been in a lot of pain due to the bone lesion on her hips.  While in the hospital, they were able to reduce some of the pain, but she is still struggling to get around.  After a long week, she finally got to go home on Friday, which was the first bit of good news we've received since her diagnosis. :) 

She has an appointment tomorrow with the transplant doctor who will be taking over with her treatment, beginning a new type of medication treatment, & coordinating her road to recovery.  :)  Please pray that tomorrow's appointment will be the first Monday to produce good news, as the last several Monday's have not. Stay tuned for updates from tomorrow's appointment. 

Love you all!
Marcia
