Bad Blood
Lauren is stable right now, but it has been one heck of a few days. Today is Day 11. If it wasn't for Dr. Abromowitch being able to predict Lolo going down fast and being a couple of hours ahead of what was happening, we would be in the PICU right now. All the events...
Superman
Today is Day 8 of the last cycle of Lauren’s treatment. We went in last Tuesday to start chemo. I haven’t written for many reasons. The first was because I don’t have my laptop anymore, but I could have found ways to let people know how Lolo was doing. But, as each...
I Want You Back & The Dalai Lama
Lauren’s journey has touched so many lives. This could be a quote. Actually it is. It was on my facebook this morning by Kitty O’ Kane. In fact, I keep hearing it over and over again. What is interesting is all of our journeys touch so many lives. Maybe not as...
Sparks Fly
We received news that the bone marrow aspirate was negative for leukemia. We have not received the genetics testing on the aspirate yet, so we don’t have a complete negative, yet. However, this is good news. The last couple of days I am still trying to wrap my head...
The Other Side of the Door
Yesterday was a very long day. Lauren had a PET scan at UNMC. When she got home, she celebrated by having a couple of friends come have dinner with her and stay the night. Yes, she got to have someone stay the night against my better judgement since she had to get up...
Back To December
Phil took the day off to go to Lolo's PET scan at University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha with me. That is the med center or UNMC to locals. She heads in at 11:00. The scan will take approximately 3 hours, so she won't be able to eat until later this afternoon....
Style
Today is about patience and trust. I realize I have lost my faith and my fight. Therefore, it shouldn't be a surprise that Lolo is also. I had such high hopes that coming home would be exactly what she needs to boost her morale. But, she hasn't done much other than...
Stay, Stay, Stay
I don't have any energy to write. I think lately my energy is fueled by when Lolo smiles. She hasn't been smiling much. True, we are home. I should be elated, but not yet. I feel at least she is safe enough to come home. They wouldn't let her come home if she wasn't...
White Horse
Just a quick update on a busy day. Today is Day 27 of Lolo's hospital stay. This weekend she had quite a few visitors, but spent a lot of time sleeping. The swelling in her jaw continued to decrease. I was worried because her count recovery (the time it takes for her...
Shake It Off
Oh, we are starting to see home on the horizon. I am actually already there. I went home on Thursday night because I was so run down and spent, I thought I was getting ill. Lauren is fighting hard. She is pushing herself to get up out of bed. She still can’t leave the...
