My leukemia's back.

Hey, Rachel, When your body says 'sit down now',,, go ahead and do that.
I always heard the solution to pollution is dilution, so drink up and wash the icky out!

Has your husband tried the cherry juice? Cherry pie!
Gout should be a really good reason to eat the cherries right out of the can if there ever was one.

Three months is going to be hard. We are with you in spirit!
When you feel like chatting someone here will be around.
We are so rooting for you, you know that don't you?
You and hubby and your boys. all of you. We think of you and keep you in our prayers.

Apparently my body was trying to tell me something was wrong, I just wasn't bright enough to catch on. I ran a temp last night so am sitting on my local (localish anyway, 30 miles from home) hospital looking at being here a week or so. I was home 48 hours. Have to admit my 'tude hasn't been the best today but my big plan is to sleep, so hopefully that helps.....

Prayers are with you...

Hey, Rachel,

. The plus side is that you are close to home. Hang in there.

Sorry.
Sleep rest.
grumble if you have to, but laugh if you can!

I had a scripture on my mirror for years,,, maybe I can remember it : better yet, I Googled it!

Rachel. I hope your stay in the hospital puts everything right for you again. I'm praying for you and for your family. Better day tomorrow!!! May God keep you safe in his hand. May he touch you and restore your physical health. May he keep you secure in the warmth of his everlasting love.

Well, I'm feeling better enough I'm pretty sure the staff wants to vote me off the island. I swear it's been one mess after another. No organization, no communication, I honestly have no trust in these folks to take care of me. Feels like I've had to fight for my care all blessed day and I'm exhausted. If I've got to stay a week I'll have to get transferred back up to the university, this simply can't last.

Yesterday my little great-niece, 6 year old Ashley, was admitted to the hospital and last evening was diagnosed with leukemia. The only symptom she had was total exhaustion and being unusually cranky, which everyone attributed to holiday overload. Her dad took her to their doctor yesterday and he sent them right over to Sanford Children's Hospital There the doctors did some blood work and found the leukemia, and they did an immediate blood transfusion. They did the bone marrow test today to determine the type and how advanced it was. The preliminary results show A.L.L. They're doing a spinal tap tomorrow to see if any cells have invaded her spinal fluid and they are going to do her first dose of chemo through the tap.

I guess this will really sound strange, and I don't know how to word it well so please, bear with me. I don't want to hijack your thread with tales of my own woe - that is not my intention, and I won't mention Ashley's leukemia here again. But I want to thank you for your courage in sharing your fight with us. Because of that, I'm scared for Ascher but not as terrified as I might have been. I can look at you, your positive attitude even when things aren't going quite right, and see your faith in God, and I'm reassured. My very special friends on another forum are praying for our little Ascher, and I'm praying for both of you. Maybe the good Lord planned for us to meet this way. I'm grateful.


Little Ashley.
