Attra Girl Here We Go

Good day today as Jen's numbers are up and still no fever. The docs have postponed her bone marrow biopsy till tomorrow to make sure her counts are still up and she is stronger. They've decided to put her back on the Attra today and we are praying that that is not what has caused the problems. We will no within 3 days and they assure us that they will not let her get as sick before taking her off it again if that seems to be the problem. It is the best possible chemo for this type of cancer so us along with the docs are hoping that she had a viral infection that was cleared up with the heavy duty antibiotics. I took her for a short walk on our floor and though it seems like a slow go I think she is getting stronger. They gave her the ok to finally shave her legs so she sat while I shaved them. It took us to shave a whole leg before we both realized that the cover was still on the razor. Had a great laugh over that one. David has postponed his trip home until she is out of the hospital and stronger so we are very grateful for that. Jen will not start her next round of iv chemo until we see what her biopsy shows and her numbers continues to go up. The clot in Jen's arm was so large that she will have to have blood thinning shots in her tummy twice a day for at least three months. It seems that when she was first admitted to the hospital they couldn't thicken her blood now they have to thin it. They do keep telling us that it will get way worse before it gets better. We are all learning patience and how to live one day at a time. Please keep up the prayers as they sure are working.
