Change In Plans

The results from the bone marrow biopsy are back, and there is a new plan for Nonnie starting next week. There is a mix of news to share regarding the results......there is no sign of leukemia in her blood, but her bone marrow is no longer producing platelets. This is one of several things, including both red and white blood cells that are produced in the bone marrow.

Instead of undergoing chemotherapy next week, Nonnie will most likely get a cord blood transplant. As more information becomes available, I will update you on that process. Until then, keep those prayers coming!

Still Waiting

Well, it has been a while since the last update, and I hope everyone is having a great summer! Can you believe that Nonnie has been home for 7 weeks? As last updated, Nonnie has continued with her twice a week in home health nurse and staying busy spending time with family and friends. 

Last week, she went in to get a bone marrow biopsy, and they are expecting the results early this week. If all goes as planned, she will return to UCLA to continue her consolidation treatment. 

The whole gang came down to Huntington Beach for a BBQ and swim party for Mike's birthday. If you ask Nonnie, she will tell you that she feels better than ever. Although she is not looking forward to going back in to the hospital, she is ready to continue her battle. Stay tuned for further updates later in the week.
