Happy Birthday Terry!! Unfortunately it wasn't the best birthday- she went to her normal clinic appointment and platelets were down to 13 so she had to go back for a transfusion in the afternoon, however the transfusion didn't take so they will have to cross-match platelets which she will receive tomorrow or the next day. They also discussed the issue of her blood counts not going very well so they have decided to start another round of chemotherapy next week- this round will be outpatient though. Lastly there is a possibility that her body is growing another spleen- they will do an ultrasound to examine this further. Hopefully this is just a minor setback and things will come around. We'll keep you posted, thank you for your prayers.

Today was another long clinic day but this should be the last day where she is getting the IV medication at the clinic. She has also been taken off some of her other meds so hopefully things will continue to go well. The doctor wants to see the donor T cells start working harder- if they do not they are planning on doing another 5 day course of chemotherapy followed by more stem cells- there were enough donated. This round of chemo will be a little different and it shouldn't cause the hair that is growing back to fall out! Hope everyone has a happy Easater!
