Couple steps back... 6-1-10
Well Jess headed over to get her chemo today and found out that her white cells are dangerously low. (Now we know the hair loss reason) So the doctor was very concerned and she is going to be keeping an eye on them this week and then she might have to have a shot to get them going again. But we are concerned because when you do that to the cells it also helps the cancer cells but she is in remission so hopefully everything will be okay. The doctor said that she wanted to give the shot on Sat after chemo this week but guess what??!!? That is Shane's graduation so she is very upset and she is going to talk to the doctor about it. Jess said that if she didn't get the shot and this new chemo knocks her cells down any further that she could end up in the hospital again and that upsets all of us :( I swear if it isn't one thing after another. When she got her blood drawn today they were supposed to use her port but the lady that keeps track of that stuff had it drawn out of her arm and that is a big no no with Jess and I guess even with Jess telling her she still had it done and it took three tries for the tech to do it so the doctor had a very upset talk with Bobbi (she is the one that is supposed to know all the stuff) That just opens Jess up for infection. So I bet that it doesn't happen again and hopefully Jess doesn't catch anything. They also gave Jess two bags of fluids so Jess said that she is feeling really water logged. Her and Jon stayed the night since she has her spinal in the morning at 8:30 am and then chemo at 11:30. I can't believe all that she is going through. They also want her on chemo pills but right now they say that they aren't covered by insurance so the kids don't want to pay about $500 for them so we will have to see what they come up with. The doctor was putting in some calls. So I will let you all know how she is feeling tomorrow. She just text d me and said that she was super tired and her head was fuzzy. So hopefully everything clears up. Please keep her in your prayers! Love, Cindi

Hi Cindi,
ReplyDeleteWow, what news! I guess this does explain a lot! I'm just thankful for the doctors that are here to discover all of this so they have the opportunity to help her back to a healthy state. Granted, timing isn't probably the best, but I'm thinkin' perhaps for many things the time probably wasn't the best (as thankful as I am, Jesus and a cross come to mind!).
You guys do your best to hold on strongly to your faith and KEEP PRAYING! We love you all and are always here if any of you need absolutely anything.
Big hugs, many prayers, and lots of love,
Kimberley, Richard, and Morgan
