Kristine is currently undergoing a 4 day IV chemo treatment and a 7 day oral chemo pill treatment. This is day 3 of chemo for each treatment. She is hanging tough. Yesterday was a little rough on her with a lot of nausea, but today she's been doing great!
There's a chance the doctor will release her Monday after she completes her IV chemo treatment. She will be allowed to take the remainder of the chemo pills from home. However, in order to be released from the hospital, she has to have someone at home to help take care of her and help with the kids. The plan was for me to go back Thursday after my mom leaves, but I have come down with the flu and a cold. I must be healthy in order to care for Kristine as she will not have an immune system and will be susceptible to infection. And as you all know, Kristine CANNOT get an infection!
We've been receiving calls from friends and family stating they have been spreading the word about joining the National Marrow Donor Registry Program. This is so wonderful to hear! We were told that Orange Coast Memorial held a bone marrow drive last year and 180 people signed up. From the 180 registrants, three lives were saved! What a wonderful gift to give... the gift of life! Keep spreading the word and don't forget to join yourself!
