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.

thursday at clinic

December3

back at the hospital.  My counts were pretty low yesterday so I needed platelets again.  It made for a really long day.  We went back to the camper and I slept the rest of the day.  I have been so weak and tired and it  feels like my heart is racing.  The Doc wanted me back in today instead of waiting till friday just in case I needed something else.  It feels like I have enough blood to lay down or sit, but not quite enough for walking…Otherwise I am doing great.  no fevers.

They will probably have me come back here for my 2nd consolidation treatment by Mid December.  This means Christmas will be completely up in the air.  Not sure when to shop, put up a tree? who knows.  I wish we could somehow squeak out a normal Christmas with the kids…o’well, this is just for now.  It is difficult to be here.  I miss my family and old life so much.  God is in control.  And I thank him for my remission.  Keep us in your prayers.  I hope to come home soon.

love karen
