Mom asked me to post for her...her is an update since her last treatment.
She is a fighter! That is for sure. But her body has been working so hard that she became very anemic and her white blood cell count has dropped very low. She had to have a blood transfusion on Tuesday (May 17) which helped increase her energy level a bit. She described it as "now I feel like I have bones in my body!". But Wednesday she developed a fever which has landed her in the hospital. Her white blood cell count dropped very low and they also believe she may be developing some sort of infection. So they are giving her high dosed of antibiotics which seem to be helping.
As soon as her fever goes down and her blood cell count goes up, they will let her go home! Please pray that that will happen very soon. Her bone marrow seems to be recovering quickly and the white blood cell count was much higher today. But she has a way to go still.
Obviously this is not where she would like to be, but she is staying positive. I will let you all know when they release her and she is home!
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Phil 4:6
Yes, your mom is a fighter yet she trusts and rests in Him for she knows the battle is the Lord's! Many are praying.

Thank you, Mandy, for the update. Your Mom, Dad and the whole family are in our prayers. These times of 'challenge' can be discouraging, but we're so grateful for the Faith He gives to sustain us in times like this.
