update?

No real update, so i guess stable, but she has been ill from the side effects of the whole process and meds.

One thing for sure, she needs comfort, funny messages, notes and cards. Any thing humorous to bring a smile and share some love. 

Hopefully more news as we get it.

  this is the address:
Dennis and Trish Sneath. C/O - Hyatt. Room # 121. 2914 Harry Hines. Dallas, TX. 75201

Keep the family close in prayer.  

the hardest part of recovery

Sandy talked to Trish's mom on wed, she said they had Trish up in a chair eating a bit in the morning and walked a little, which she is suppose to walk more the next day.

They had been checking for infection and so far clear. she is doing great.

So now we find that last night Aug 15,she had a set back. She is alright now . She went into Atrial Fib and they were ready to use paddles when she got back to normal on her own.

She is doing fine today.

We hopefully will have an update tomorrow.

Keep Dennis and their family strong in prayer for the ups and downs.

Again, if you would like to send her a card or something this is the address:
Dennis and Trish Sneath. C/O - Hyatt. Room # 121. 2914 Harry Hines. Dallas, TX. 75201

Holding my breath

Was a little nervous there waiting for a call and trying to get into blog spot.password issues.

 Last week Trish came home for a short time to regroup, repack and get ready for her big day.

After getting extremely sick from the high doses of chemo in preparation for the bone marrow transplant she was aching from that and scheduling lots of dental work, she got everything done that she could at this time for them to prep her for no infection, she did say her mouth was sore but she was ready to get all done and home by fall.

Sunday she started loosing her hair so Sandy took her to get it all removed. She said she was ok but how would we be? worried, scared, and who knows? She said you should see me i am not pretty bald, i said well who cares you are same person and you are a beautiful person to all of us,

They admitted her that Monday started fluids and chemo again.

We were all waiting patiently for news, same hotel same room, same hospital but no news.

So now, August 13,2012 got her transplant received8 units which we don't know what that means but done. they have her sedated most likely because pain. they will watch her for 1- 14 days in hospital then she may go back to her room.

We don't know about isolation or if that is the 14 days.

Sandy talked to her mom and that's the new we got.

Keep them close in prayer, and thoughts.
send whatever to the address given before i am sure they will be in and out and not able to leave allot. they will appreciate anything.

Mainly love to the family.

More as soon as i get it.
If anyone knows anything let us know, C

goin homa

After having to do another day of extracting she was released to try and get caught up on the dental issues. In hopes she will clear up all infections to receive her clear bone marrow in a few weeks.

She is worn out, possibly weak. She said she is sore from aches in her bones which is part of the effects from the extraction.

We are hoping she can get through the next few weeks comfortable and  upbeat.

Please hold them and family close to prayer and what you feel they need.

Thanks from them, with much love.

Another day in the big C life

well one drama down and today was the big retrieval, 7 to 8 hours, kind of a close call when they thought about not doing it since her numbers weren't quite where they wanted. But then Dr. A called and said go ahead lets do it.

So today was the big day and she survived with minimal issues.They collected 3 million - amazing? wonder how many a body has? any who, they are going to have to retrieve more Tuesday. They will start the process of freezing what they cllected and what ever else they do to them.

then depending on how that goes she will have to go back to the teeth issue process that was abruptly unfinished, so she will be clear of any infection. Meaning root canals, bunched together. so she can get healed on that before she goes back for the transplant. 

So keep their spirits up and prayers going. They appreciate all of you all and miss you and there family.

I will keep you posted on there wherabouts as soon as we know.  They should be in same hotel but possibly different room number. We will no more after tommorrow.

Than you all and Love from the Sneaths

July 25 Wed

Most of the week was a blurr of weakness due to the cheno and reaction.
Late Tues. she was feeling some better, eating a bit and had overcome most of the sickness.

She is recieving 3 injections a day and Monday is the target date for pulling the cells. She is very optimistic with everything going better than expected. Monday it will take 7 to 8 hours!

Then hoping for news to come home soon! Then the actual transplant will be early August so that is very soon as well.

Keep them close with thoughts and prayers. Send anything you feel this week as long as it is befor Tues. until we know more at the addy we provided.

Love and thankfulness from the family.

I know Dennis and trish are both waiting patiently to see the kiddos. ) and everyone else soon we hope!!!!

Sunday July 22

Sandy spoke with Trish for a short moment she of course was very weak and ill from all the chemo. They put her on meds to get rid all the water she had to consume.

She will be in hospital stay till her numbers come down.

I am sure they are anxious to get to their hotel even though it is not home it is their temporary comfort.

Please send them comfort and encouragement in any way you can, Patient on the phone calls i am sure Dennis is busy holding up the fort,

If you need the addy to their stay let us know.
