Sorry I did not post yesterday. Debbie is feeling well, she is on the upward side of this hospital stay. She is regaining her strength and rebuilding her counts. Our goal is for her counts to return to normal so she can go home. Her platelets are still very low and she received a transfusion yesterday and another one today. Her white counts are on the rise, slowly but surely as are her red blood cells.
We found out more information concerning the consolidation therapy or follow up therapy that they will do to ensure the leukemia does not return. When she is released from the hospital she will go home for two weeks. Then she will come back to the hospital for a week and receive three days (MWF) of 24 hour chemo drip. She will then go home for around 6 weeks and come back again for the same routine (MWF drip). She will have 4 rounds of this therapy over the next 6 months. Each week she will come to Jackson from Philadelphia to have her blood drawn and counts taken. We still have a ways to go but praise the Lord he is faithful to the end! He never leaves us nor forsakes us!
