Hi again,
Just heard from Jen's doc that there is a serious bed crunch on right now. Our options were to wait for a bed and just continue the way we are with the Attra holding the leukemia at bay. Not a cure but apparently she could go on this way for awhile or to get her iv chemo at outpatients and hope she doesn't get too ill. We opted for the latter because her numbers are good and the doctor has great faith in us to be careful. He is trying to get things set up for tomorrow where she will get her chemo in 15 minute doses through iv 4 times a day for 4 days in a row. The doc assures us that if she is sick that he will hit her hard with heavy duty anti nausea medication and we are close enough to the hospital to get her there quick. He says if that happens she will for sure get a bed in emergency. I am going to keep her wrapped in cotton so this doesn't happen. Ha. We are grateful to get things started and are hopeful that with everyones prayers that things will go smoothly. The mom and daughter

Hello Ladies
I am sorry to hear that you will have wait until monday to find out wether or not you get your chemo. They told you that its 4 consecutive days and it has to start on a monday. I know its frustrating, but its also a character builder. You have all the love and prayers from every one back here.
Love Dad at Home
