Just a brief update. Kerrie had kind of a yukky day yesterday, not feeling real good in the morning, but after the doctor’s rounds it was out of bed and in to the shower. She enjoyed that, then sat up for awhile to visit with her most welcome company, her Aunt Nancy and Uncle Chuck. She was glad to get back to bed as she is not as strong as she used to be and gets tired pretty quickly.

PT came in and watched us stand, pivot, sit and lay down. Guess we passed the test, so they left some exercises we can do in bed. Hopefully her counts will be high enough today so that they can work with her some.

She has started on a new immunosuppressive medication. She will get that 1-2 times a day. It is hoped that this will help keep her system out of the way of the transplant stem cells so that her body will balance out.

We are meeting with the transplant team and Dr. Jana tomorrow to discuss Kerrie’s care and future plans for treatment. Will update you when more info is available.

Keep the prayers coming folks, and if you are up to it, come on down to see Kerrie. She enjoys the company, even if she doesn’t talk too much. Believe me she is listening, because she chimes right in when she has something to add. 🙂

Take care, Love you All !
