Things to Pray For

1. No fevers

2. Tumor shrinks complete

3. And they find the new perfect donor(anyone want to get tested?)for my next transplant

4. Nausea

5. That we all can have strength to face this

Round 1 Over.

Well what can I say about this week...I spent a good part of it sedated or throwing up. I like sedated better. But, I also had some wonderful visitors and that always makes the day go faster. Thank you dear friends coming around. So far treatment is going well my blast count(cancer cells) went way down (i cant remember number i'll ask my dad later). But so far so good, Thank you God!

I'm supposed to be between treatment for a little while which great! unfortunately my blood counts will be down for most of it so I won't go anymore, just be a homebody. But you still may visit! Just dont bring little germies with you(A.K.A. don't be sick).

I'm going to check up on Tuesday morning to see how things are going (pray pray pray!) And between now and then I will watch movies and lay around, which really sounds lovely.

Anyway Take Care all! Keep praying!

Love,

Karina

Day 1

Well moments ago I started chemo. I don't really feel different yet...other than the anti-nausea drug affects(they make me a little woozy). But so far, so good!

Earlier today they did the bone marrow aspiration which i'm a little sore from still(0uch!). And they put in my hickman line(a permanent I.V.) to make it easier to give me chemo and medicine intravenously.

Overall, it was sort of a strange day. I felt like I'd gone back in time 4 years. But there were changes, I'm an adult now! I was the one to sign my consent forms and I don't stay with kids anymore. So I guess I'm officially a grown-up.

I'm pretty tired after today, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to post something a little more detailed.

Love,

Karina

Here We Go...

Well hello all,

I've decided that keeping a blog would be a simple way to keep everyone updated on what's going on.

So without further ado...tomorrow I start chemo at Tacoma General and do another test(bone marrow aspiration), I should be in for about 5 days. Feel free to visit, just call or text first:)

I'll update you soon!

Thanks for your prayers and support.

Much Love,

Karina
