Karen's Day at Shands

Karen wanted a place for family and friends to be able to see how she is doing each day at Shands. This is how she is making that happen.

Day 6

November6

Karen got platelets last night and they are giving her blood now. Counts are down to 120 and will need to hit zero brfore they come back up. It’s all part of the plan though. Just watching and waiting for 11-15-2010 so that we can get the next Bone Marrow Biopsy that will tell us if she is in remission from the luekemia. She has eaten a little bit today. That beats not eating, which is what she has done the last few day. Now that she is on the pain pump she is much more comfortable. Guess what she is talking about, even in her sleep. FOOD! Not just any food. She keeps talking about how we have to get some nice food. That we need to go to a nice. In her current state she doesn’t mean to go later. She means right now! It is going to be a little while before we can even get a day pass. It gives her a nice goal to shoot for though.

    Karen and Don,
    Just know that my prayers are continuing for you on a daily basis. The people at our church are also praying. God is awesome and He listens. We just have to wait on his answer. I am glad Karen was able to get the pain pump. They are a lot nicer in that they steadily help the pain without the ups and downs.
    God Bless
