Sounds like you're getting better! Yea!!! Just keep on moving in the right direction. That's all I ask. And I hope that you're getting all the support IRL that you need. Let us know if there is anything we can do, okay?

I am so far behind! I knew that Candy was in the hospital, but since I started working this new job and the holidays I've hardly been online at all.

My hugs and prayers, Candy. You have all of us here thinking of you and missing you. You are so sweet--I miss those posts. Hope you can get better and outta there soon! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Candy}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

An update...........

--------------------------------------

For those of you I've not written to before, I am Candy's sister Vicki from Minnesota.

January 5th was Candy's one (1) month anniversary of being in the hospital. It has been a long journey and a tremendous struggle. BUT I am delighted to be able tell you that Candy appears to be on the road to recovery. She looks GREAT! I was with her when she was transferred to Froedtert, critically ill, near death. It is very gratifying to see her doing so well. The infections are all but gone, the 2nd round of bleeding has completely stopped, and she is getting out of bed, walking up and down the hallway outside her room.

After getting transfusions nearly every day, and being on some very potent drugs to jump start her bone marrow, Candy was, as of a couple of days ago, waiting for her platelet count to be stable enough to stop the transfusions. (Once the transfusions are stopped, it can be determined whether or not she is making platelets on her own.)

Today she reached that point, and transfusions have been stopped. Over the next several days, her counts will be monitored and If they remain the same or increase, the docs will probably set a discharge date. However, discharge does not mean she is fully recovered, just good enough to go home and get transfusions on an outpatient basis. Full recovery time is unknown at this time, estimates range from 6 weeks to 6 months post discharge.

We don't know for certain what the docs plan if her platelet count decreases. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

The plan for Candy after discharge will be to remain in Milwaukee if it appears likely that recovery is in the 6 week range. Anything longer than that means Candy will move to Rochester, MN, live with me and get treatment at the Mayo Clinic.

Thanks for all your support, prayers and good wishes. Candy is very appreciative. I hope that in the very near future that she will be back at her computer, emailing all of you about how she is doing!!
