Hello Everyone!
My apologies for not being able to finish the information I was providing about Kristine's stem cell transplant a few days ago. However, I have good news today! I received a call from Dave telling me Kristine is going to be released from the hospital on Monday!! The doctor said she is doing so well and her blood counts are coming up so that they feel she is doing well enough to be transferred to Tiverton House.
Tiverton House is similar to a hotel where UCLA sends their transplant patients to complete their recovery. It's located within minutes of the hospital so if Kristine spikes a temperature or shows any signs of an infection, she can be brought right in for immediate medical treatment.
Kristine is so happy at the thought of getting out of the hospital. She has expressed, on numerous occasions lately, that she is so tired of being hospitalized. She longs to feel the sun on her face and the wind blow her bald head. I was able to about to say to feel the wind blow through her hair, but the little hair that had grown out, is now falling out, so she's back to bald. That's okay though, as long as she is healthy again, that is AOK.
Kristine had visitors on the 15th. Dave brought Kahlen and their neighbor, Deb, who has been such a big help with caring for the kids. I've attached some pictures from her visit on the left side.
Well, I'm going to wrap it up for now. Please continue to pray for Kristine to stay infection free and on the fast track to a full recovery.
