A beautiful young lady in the fight of her life...

Abigail has been very busy having bone marrow testing, dental work, and more donor lymphocytes to help her over this part of the procedure she has endured since the first week of January 2012. I don't know if she is ready to face more treatments or she has just been keeping occupied what between her hospital trips, dentist days, Easter celebration at Koret Family House or her trips to the Museums and shopping around San Francisco, California. One thing we do know id that she is perpetually in a zone of happiness because she does have a very close bond with her brother Blake, her Dad Dennis, her Mother Candice, Grandpa Rick, Grandma Kate, Aunt Melanie, Aunt Becky, Uncle Chris, Cousin Amara Lark, or Aunt Helen, Aunt Marsha,  Uncle Eric, Aunt Jen, and Uncle Dan, her Cousins Emily and Alex. There are many friends and family who are out in the greater areas also including her Great Grandma Mary and Grandpop Jack O'Grady and many more Aunts and Uncles and Cousins whom she has not met. God Bless Abigail Brianne Courtemanche  because we all love her very much and wish her lollipops, cotton candy, and alot of rock music videos of Justin Beiber!

8,000,000 lymphocytes here they come...

Abbi got her big 8,000,000 lymphocyte cell infusion, the last one she got was last May and that was 1,000,000, so big risk of causing the GVHD. They have more frozen so this is not our last chance, they say they have more tricks, it is just that this is such a nasty disease but her attitude is great.They even talk about T- cell stimulation drugs. So in 2 to 3 weeks if she does not get GVHD they will go up on the dose of lymphocytes and give her another infusion. I will keep u updated, God I  just pray you make it possible for Abbi to develop graft vs host disease.

AMEN
Mom Candice.
