Hello Everyone, I was traveling and got two days of updates all today.
For the 29th from Michelle: "Today was a quiet restful day. Wendy has had sometime to sleep and concentrate on getting healthier. She was able to sit up for awhile and also eat some peach yogurt and some cherrios. Tomorrow, unfortunately I have to leave, but I know I'm leaving her in capable hands. The girls and Randy are an incredible support system for her. I look forward to visiting them in a couple weeks. Love to all and thank you for all your prayers and well wishes."
Today the 30th, Randy is back to writing: "Wendy IS improving. Her color is better and physio is working hard to get her up and mobile. Our main doctor came in today. She's wonderfully frank. I mean that in a good way. She's very caring and kind about it and she won't make guesses. Wendy's treatment schedule has changed a bit. They've found a kind of fungus in her blood - the thrush family. It's hard to kill and she's on some very strong antibiotics now. The doctor figures it will take about 2-3 weeks to deal with that before they can move forward with normal treatment plans. We also got some information about the leukemia. We now know for certain it cannot be cured with chemo alone. Wendy is far away still, but eventually she will need a bone marrow transplant."
Randy asked if anyone had details on how to become a bone marrow donor, and Tiffany came back with some information: "Anyone can be tested to be a donor for Wendy by first going to bethematch.com"
