THIS IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL

Last Thursday Kristin was discharged from the hospital after the lovely shingles' episode. The rapidly growing monsters responded well to the iv meds, fever was resolved and blood pressure eventually stabilized. I am not sure if she grasped the magnitude of the situation as she was so focused on getting out and on her way to BYU. Honestly, I cannot blame her one bit nor did anyone else. But, when the doctor goes from we will take this day by day to hour by hour, you just do that...Thankfully, hour by hour was gracious to her and she was finally released. I will add that it was not without myself and Doctor Raphael being in the dog house for holding her hostage!

Once she made it home, she focused on packing for school. We were on the road by 4:00. Luckily she had gotten a lot done the previous week which was very helpful. We decided to drive to picturesque Wendover and stay the night there. She was so anxious to get there and asked, "Can't we just drive all night?" We were exhausted from all the drama and said no. What did matter was arriving for new student orientation Friday morning. That is exactly what happened and her parents were bright eyed and bushy tailed to boot!!! After all the customary speeches, photo taking, breakout sessions, etc., we checked her into the Wyview apartments. I must say that BYU is a beautiful campus and everyone was extremely helpful. The apartment complex is immaculate and well cared for. Her roomates were nice, we were glad.

Kristin is thrilled beyond words to be there and so are we. I will keep everyone posted.

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
