She was in really good spirits the last few days. She had been walking around the ward more, eating more and been in a generally great mood for a while now.
She had a Lumbar Puncture on Wednesday 3/2 and another Bone Marrow Biopsy Thursday 3/3. This will determine whether they will proceed with more of the chemo (HyperCVAD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCVAD) and the Bone Marrow Transplant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow_transplant).
The transplant is the most optimum path to maximize her chances. We are still wanting to hear back to see if Charlene is a match for her.
We have started a Charitable account for her at FirstTech Credit Union, if you wish to donate to her for whatever reason you can send checks made out to Jenene Philips or just to her name and send it to her Mom’s house: 1392 SE 64th Court Hillsboro, OR 97123 or to my house at 3543 SE Belmont St, Portland OR 97214.
