Monday, May 14th

Not much to say today… Dr. Jana is looking over everything, Infectious Disease is going to take another look at Kerrie and, as usual, they have no definate answer to what is going on right now.

One thing they’ve said is that they are going to do another bone marrow biopsy in the next few days. Although, the last one showed no sign of the Leukemia they are going to check again. Mom keeps telling me not to worry, until we’re given the words we don’t want to hear, but I can’t help it.

Her blood counts keep going lower.. but she’s still keeping her spirits up. At least in front of Mom. She knows why they are doing the bone marrow biopsy again and, while I sit in my office and cry, she sounds happy and smiling on the phone. I love her even more for that… I’m sure we are all thinking the same thing, but you would never know it listening to her.

I asked her what Dr. Bartel had to say today, even though I had already talked to Mom, and she said.. “Oh, he said I’d have a few more days of all this hocus pocus” 🙂 Very cute.

We’ll just have to wait and see what they have to say, what the bone marrow biopsy shows, what.. if anything.. Infectious Disease decides to do about the swelling in her face ( to Biopsy or not..) and what happens with her blood counts in the next few days.

She’s come so damn far.. I can’t believe all her progress would stop now. Keep your prayers coming and keep her in your heart.
