Update from April 29th

Jenene has been out of the hospital for the last week since her brief visit last Saturday. She had a doctors appointment yesterday with her Stem Cell Transplant team to give her information about what she will be going through while she is in and out of the hospital during her transplant.

She has a tough road ahead with a lot of restrictions as far as what she can and can’t do and eat; visitors in and out of the hospital; activities; and times when she needs to go back to the hospital. More doctors appointments next week. Then she will be admitted on May 23rd to start prepping her for her transplant.

I will send out more information about the prep and transplant process in a future email. But here is a wiki page about the transplant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell_transplantation.

Also, a link on this page offers a nice booklet of information about Leukemia called Facts (it is in PDF form): http://www.lls.org/#/resourcecenter/freeeducationmaterials/generalcancer/facts

Her charitable fund is with FirstTech Credit Union If you wish to donate to her, please make the checks out to Jenene Philips and you can send them to either 1392 SE 64th Court Hillsboro, OR 97123 or 3543 SE Belmont St, Portland OR 97214.

Or visit her website with a PayPal account attached, so that you can donate to her via a credit card. That site is here: http://jenenephilips.tumblr.com/.
