Update on Jenene - June 4th - Day +4

It is Day +4 and things have been a bit up and down for Jenene. She has had a few days and nights of nausea and she has been suffering from the mouth sores again. But all in all she has been doing well. The doctors and nurses here have been trying to manage the pain and nausea with medication. She has been receiving treatments of Methotrexate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methotrexate#Chemotherapy) to help control her blood cell growth.

No true timeline on when she will be leaving the hospital, but she is determined to be out by the 14th. We will know more after the next 3 to 4 days, as the doctors say that these days (Days 4-7) can be the toughest.

She does have a great view up here on the 14th floor. Great views of the Willamette and Mount Hood (when it isn’t obscured by the clouds) from the huge window in her room. She will let folks know when she will be allowing more visitors. Please keep contacting here at jmphilips503@hotmail.com.

Charlene has been recovering well too, spending a lot of time walking around the SE Portland area.

If you still 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/.

Please pass on the following link to those who may want to know about her past treatments and to keep a watch on her progress: http://neeners-updates.blogspot.com/.

Thank you all for your support.
