Abbi
had to start the chemo on the 20th because her blasts were continuing
to rise even with the hydroxyurea. she is on standard aml frontline
therapy. day 2 is down 8 more to go. her blasts have come down from
13000 to 4000. it is working so far and she is doing good, just a little
tired but not sick and hopefully that will be minor. she has a nausea
patch behind her ear and they give her zofran for nausea as well. but
they say the side effects won't start for a couple of days. but i pray
hard for mild side effects and for Jesus to protect her vital organs.
since the donor has said yes her blood still has to be tested for
disease and since 6 months ago she donated her blood for abbi i am sure
everything will be fine. the docs don't think their will be a problem.
they just had to make a decision so her blasts wouldn't get worse. so
usually they know the cells are good to go before they start chemo. we
believe everything will go as planned and with Jesus all things are
possible and miracles do happen! i will update again soon. (Mom Candice)
