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.

Fresh Fruit – 920

November29

Don: Today they delivered fresh fruit to Karen for the first time in over 3 weeks. She didn’t eat it but at least it is now available. Tomorrow’s breakfast is going to be yogurt with fruit. Yogurt has also been restricted until Karen got over 500 again. These little things help us to know that she is improving. We love the feeling of security that you get in this environment but the goal has always been to get back to the world and life. We are getting closer. We know that your prayers have helped tremendously in getting this far. Today Karen is feeling very weak. We have not been getting in her daily walks for 3-4 days. We went out this morning and only made one lap around the floor. Prayers for continued growth in WBC and RBC while keeping away any growth in luekemia cells are greatly welcomed. It is also time for her to gain strength and she is no longer on the automatic pain medication so we need prayers for comfort as she starts taking pills to contol the pain. When you start growing cells in the bone marrow it makes you ache, alot. Thank all of you for what you do for her.

    Keep climbing Karen! Jake & Dylan & I are lifting you up in prayer. Jake takes his driver license test today – so look for some pictures on Facebook later this evening.

    God’s grace-strength-peace-and healing…

    Wow, I can’t believe Jake is old enough to be driving already . . . ! :-O

    We are still praying for you, Karen, as are many people at Northstar. Maybe when you get back to PC we can go out for another salad!
