Kristin has been asking to have friends over for dinner like we use to in the "old days" for quite some time. We have not had the right circumstances to pull this off until this past weekend. I knew that her counts would still be good for a few more days and told Darren we need to do this this Sunday. No trips to Oakland were planned, so I called some friends:Hames, Gunters,Doughertys and Feldmans, and they all happened to be home this weekend. We basically did pot luck, but when this group gets together, this is no ordinary pot-luck! Kristin was eager to help prepare stuff as usual. (she is getting to be great in the kitchen) We tried our hand at a berry English Trifle with homemade custard, and fruit salsa for some teriyaki, cedar smoked, salmon. After dinner we played a spirited game of tackle-whiffle ball. We sat outside laughing and enjoying the evening. Later the dogs gave us the best laugh I have had in a very long time! What was so special about this night was that Kristin got us all together. We have been friends, boating buddies, and more for many years. Having friends over means so much to her right now. The next morning the Doctor was saying that we should take advantage of this window of time and have some friends over while she is still feeling well.......





Chemo went well, but as usual she feels awful in the evening. I have noticed her sleeping in much later so I am suspecting that her counts are beginning to fall. They told her that they have not seen anyone ever take chemo as good as she does. I give credit to the blessings she was given, many prayers and fasting on her behalf and hypnotherapy.

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 ...
