Getting Closer

As I sit here writing this post, I can't help but to be thankful for all of the blessings and answered prayers in our life. I spoke with Nonnie this morning, and she told me that she started making her own platelets last night! This means that her bone marrow is working properly, and the chemotherapy did not do any damage. She will be getting some whole blood today and is expected to be home by the weekend.

The doctors are considering this to be her last treatment because there is no significant information available to suggest that another treatment would be beneficial. If fact, the potential for damage to the bone marrow could potentially increase with each treatment. For now, she is doing quite well and excited about the great news.

  2. Oh merciful God! We thank you for your bounteous blessings. This is the news we have all been expecting.....because we have had faith that we would receive this news. Is it possible to extend a big 'group hug' and expess our thanks to Dr. Paquette and his staff for the loving care they have given you? I love you Linda and Dave and can't wait to hear about your homecoming!
