Hello everyone. Wanted to let you know what has been happening since my last post. Kendall is still in the hospital getting treatments and nutrition. She has not had a fever in 6 days!!!! She has started to have more energy and not having to take so many naps because she wasn’t feeling well. Her appetite is gradually getting better. TPN(nutrition) is still going through her IV until she is able to eat and drink closer to the goals they have set for her. She’ll get there in her own time……She will stay in the hospital until it is safe for her to go home and we don’t have to worry about dehydration.

Biopsy

The biopsy from the lymph node came back. The diagnosis was monomorphic PTLD.(research it to learn more and get a better understanding of it). She received another dose of the Rituxan yesterday and did fine. No allergic reactions to it.

The plan is to give one more infusion of that same medication next week. In 2 weeks she will start chemo and steroids weekly on an outpatient basis.

They are going to decrease her (TPN) tonight so that she will feel hungry and start eating normally again.

PT/OT have been coming and doing strengthening exercises with her because she has been in the bed for so long, only getting up to go to the bathroom. For the past few days she has been getting up walking to the bathroom, around the room, and sitting in the chair for hours.

Today she had a bone marrow biopsy to make sure that the cells have not spread and a different treatment plan is needed. We believe nothing has spread and it NEVER will. She is going to come through this just like she always has. We have no doubt about it. No if ands or buts about it.

Another testimony of God’s grace and mercy right before our very eyes. Another miracle on the way!!

Periodt!!!
