More chemo needed

Hello Family and Friends,

Mary and I met with the Doctors last night and her body is producing her white cells instead of mine. Of the cells they checked, 83% are Jennifer’s and 17% are mine. My cells should have been a lot higher, so we are now moving to the next plan.

Mary will be tested today and tomorrow and will start receiving shots to boost her white cells starting Thursday. She will get these shots for 4 days so they can use her stemcells. Jennifer will start next Tuesday with more chemo. She will receive the chemo for 5 days, 1 day rest and receive Mary’s cells the following Monday.

This was not the news we wanted to hear but we must keep fighting and fight hard!

We talked with Jennifer last night and she was very upset but she knows that we have to keep fighting and her family is with her 100%.

Yesterday was the last day she received her shot to boost her counts, so in the next 24 hours she should start feeling better and the muscles pains will go away.

It looks like she will be in the hospital for a while so please keep sending her the e-cards from the hospital. (she love’s to read them). Please keep the prayers coming.

God Bless to all of you that are in Jennifer corner.

Tim
