Day 21



Wow, it is so hard to believe that 2009 is over. I think the reason it seems to have gone by so quickly is because the last five months have been so focused on getting my Mom through the leukemia diagnosis, many trips back and forth to MDA, chemo treatments, stem cell transplant, graft vs. host disease and everything that has gone a long with the transplant. The holidays have been rather strange for us because we are used to spending them together but we have had to figure out who we were going to celebrate. Although it was different, we figured it out and had a pretty good holiday. (Yes, if you already been to my blog, you are reading the same thing!)
After having a busy day yesterday, today was a do nothing day. I forgot to let you know that Mom had to have another central line put in because she will have to continue dialysis for several months after she gets home. Dad ask her doctor today if there were going to be days added to the 100 since she has had so many problems and since she is still in the hospital and thankfully the doc said no, not at this time. Soooooooo, that means she should be home in 20 days. Keep your fingers crossed that there are no days added! Keep praying for her kidney to go back to complete function soon so that the dialysis will not be needed for long.
Well, that is all for tonight. We hope that each of you has a happy and prosperous 2010.

I have a cousin who has ALS, and stem cells are going to be the key to his cure. We follow religion too, but I don't see the harm in taking benefit of new discoveries. Medical science is booming only because people need it and it is high time more research should go on the treatment methods.
