So the Journey is now. The great thing is Trish is not for a loss on medical terminology so we are the only ones that really need simple terminology. But far from recovery since she will always live with this new diagnosis.
This week Sept. 05, 2011 Trish had her IV solution , she stated that this is something she will have to do almost monthly. This strengthens the bones and she seems to tolerate well.
Then on Wed. 7th she went to get a new port put in for all her future visits she will endure. Her last port was needing changed and apparently had some difficulty to get out since it got tangled up and had issues under the skin. (maybe not explaining as well as her but close to it lol) The procedure went well. and she is glad her Dr. is confident and has a better feeling on this one that was placed.
Today on Thursday - Trish went to visit her Dr. L - ( I will call her Dr's. by an initial.) anyway he advised her that he is so pleased with her numbers. They are building on their own and her body is doing what they are wanting it to do, building their own. She is so pleased.
She still has to get some major work done on her teeth, finding this particular specialist whom deals with such cases as hers isn't easy. They are looking to have to go out of state to get this consult and work done.
This is an addition to another expense to add to to the pile of other expenses.
She isn't looking forward to it but a major necessity to clear out an underlying infection and in order to move forward on a possible future transplant. ( bone marrow i believe.) The Dr. will not discuss further plans until this is done and she is clear of this infection.
