I Know a Girl, She Puts The Color In My World


We just had our morning rounds. The big news is that Kristin had no "blasts" in her blood.These are immature white blood cells that originate in the bone marrow. An excess number of these allows for the diagnosis of ALL. This is good news. On day eight of therapy we will see what is happening in the bone marrow. Big Day! Her WBC(white blood cell count) this morning was 8. Last Thursday it was 22! She is receiving bactrim(sp) to help prevent pneumonia and a whopping shot of asparaginase today.


We know today is Sunday. Although it is not our normal routine in anyway, we know it is for many of you. I imagine my old Sunday routine. It is different now, but still my sabbath day. There is a reverence, comfort and peace that I feel from this. We feel the power of your prayers, hope and faith. Love you children. Tell them when they wake in the morning, before they go to bed, and when you are apart. I cannot imagine not ever doing so again!

On a lighter note, Kristin was stretching, doing back bends and asking to be unhooked so she could do some stairs. The stairs are out, but she was told she could do as much as she felt she could. this has been a big worry for her. She is not happy about losing muscle tone, etc. But, it will come back!

Live Happy,
Leslie

The Beginning

Hello to all from Children's Hospital Oakland, California To it still difficult to grasp that we are actually here...hearing this news...living in this new world. Kristin's official diagnosis is ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA precursor b. This is very treatable form of cancer. She is enrolled in a cutting edge program for treating A.L.L.. All of us here are very optimistic. She is under the care of amazing Doctors and the recipient of the miracles of modern medicine. It will be a very rough 2 years or so, but she will survive. Thus far, we have been on the fast track. This is an amazing institution and we are very, very fortunate to be here. Nothing short of kindness and compassion have been shown to us from the very beginning. Upon our arrival on Monday, she has undergone a bone marrow biopsy, 2 lunbar punctures, echo cardiogram, chest x-ray, broviac cath . placement, and numerous pokes and prods. She received her first chemo treatment; injected into the spinal fluid, Wednes...

GO GO SPECIAL K!

Our last bone marrow biopsy went great! It showed no leukemia cells. This shows that she is having a positive early response to the chemo which is a very, very good thing! All of her labs are coming back "smashing!" We are dealing with secondary complications such as situational diabetes. This is only tempoary and should resolve once we are off the strong steroids. Consequently she has to have blood sugars checked often, insulin injections, and follow a carb controlled diet. not fun! In trying to be supportive, I am counting carbs along with her. It is hard when someone has a birthday up here every other day and wants to share their cake. Keep the dang cake to yourselves! Kristin is getting very tired more often and is noticing that she can pull out clumps of hair....I am sad. Although I knew this was coming, I was taken back by the situation and caught off guard. Baldness goes hand in hand with leukemia and every parent up here would rather have a beautifully healthy, shini...

UPDATE

Kristin is currenly in room 5330 getting two units of PRBC's. Her counts are on the way down and I am hoping that this is all the drama we will see. It has been a long, difficult...two months.....seems like forever.... especially as we approach the one year mark. Our daily excursions to Berkley have been uneventful. (I decided that if I had another life, I would like it to be in Berkley. I love this area!) We are going to Alta Bates Hospital. I am taken by the compassion, charity, and warmth that the patients are treated with here. It is the same spirit you feel when you walk onto the 5th floor here at CHO. Wonderful people who truly and compassionately love what they do. Back to her radiation.....Her radiation takes all of two minutes. I call it a "lick." Thankfully she is getting a very low dose so the side effects are pretty much nil. Kristin really looks forward to returning to school on a more regular basis. I cannot begin to tell you of the hardships Kristin has ...
