The Day That Turned Into Snail Hell

Ok here is the update, Valerie has Acute Myloid Leukemia M4 stage. It could be better, it could be worse. The meds they gave her last night are starting to work her white blood cell count is now 111,000 yesterday it was 133,000. Platelets are now 42,000 instead of 1,000. WBC are supposed to be 10,000 and platelets 140,000. She will be doing chemo for 8 days and then at least 3 weeks of recovery. She will be in the hospital for 4 weeks. There are a lot of other meds that make up the cocktail. She has a 75% chance of remission and she is young which is good. We are still taking it hour by hour, day by day. She needs to get thru this week first. She loves loves loves all the flowers but she will not be able to have them after the next couple of days, she can have pictures and drawings and balloons. What she needs more is prayer. Thank you for all of the love she is a blessed girl to have all of you!
