There's no new news to report yet. When the doctor came by to see Kristine yesterday, she had visitors so he didn't have an opportunity to discuss anything with her. He respects patient confidentiality and will surely have an indepth conversation with her when they can have a private conversation.
Dr. Jacoub did tell Kristine that she would be in the hospital for at least another week. This means Kristine will be spending her 35th birthday in the hospital. That stinks! She was hoping to be home by then. However, this is for her own safety. She still has a near zero white cell count, which means no immune system, so we feel it is best that she remains in the hospital as well.
Today Kristiine isn't feeling well. Her body hurts all over and that awful pain in back in her abdomen. She was running a fever of 101 earlier this morning which is frightening. Thankfully, her temperature has gone back down. Please remember to be cautious when visiting Kristine and use the sanitizer upon entering her room. No hugs please, just bump elbows if you feel the need to make physical contact. (Thanks for that idea Sean!!)
Kristine will not be administered the Neupogen injections this time around. The doctor wants her marrow to work alone in trying to produce new blood cells. Although, she will be receiving a platelets transfusion today.
No news yet on whether any of us sisters are a match. So please continue your prayer circles for that specific prayer to be answered. Also, as always, continue to pray for Kristine to feel well, for her blood levels to reach normal, for her to stay in remission and for her to be cured! Thank you all!!
