Memory Quilt for Jennifer

It’s a beautiful Sunday in Houston TX. Jennifer is out of the Hospital!!!!!!!!

Late Friday afternoon, Jennifer left the hospital and went to the apartment. Most of her pain is gone and she’s still fighting some stomach problems but that’s not enough to keep her in the hospital. Her ANC is right around 1000, they would like it to be higher. They are going to give Jennifer a boost of Mary’s stem cells. Mary started taking the shoots on Friday and she’s starting to feel bad today. They will test her tomorrow and see if she is ready. If she’s not ready, she will get one more shoot and they will pull the cells on Tuesday. Timmy is coming down to help this week.

As you all know, Jennifer went into the hospital on April 21 and she has only been out of the hospital for 7 days. We plan on staying out until her 100th day from the last transplant. October 13 is the 100th day! Then we can GO HOME TO AUSTIN! GO JENNIFER GO!

So things are going very good, we just need to keep building up her strength up. She will go and see the doctors 3 days a week for a while. (Check counts and receive blood or platelets)

Jennifer also received a very special present on Friday. GREAT Aunt Debbie made Jennifer a beautiful memory quilt. It has most of the pictures from the web page printed on it and Jennifer’s poem. Around each picture there is a theme frame around it and it’s just beautiful. When Jennifer opened it up and started crying. Thanks Aunt Debbie and Uncle Bob, Grandma Rita and Grandpa Buzz, Aunt Lou and Aunt Karen for putting this together!

Thanks
Tim
