Hickman – Round II
Alese is having another Hickman installed Wednesday morning…
She’ll arrive at COH early Wednesday morning and have surgery at 9:00 a.m. Late Wednesday evening Alese will be infused with a round of Cytoxan and beginning on Thursday, we’ll begin giving her daily Neupogen injections.
Our hope and prayer is that over the next ten days her white count will be above 20.0 and her transplant team will be able to harvest somewhere between 3 – 5 million stem cells.
Thereafter, she’ll be scanned, this will provide doctors with a baseline and will be used as a comparison after two or three cycles of MOPP have been infused. In a perfect world, they want Alese to be cancer free prior to transplant.
Please join in prayer for the following:
1. The surgery will be successful and the Hickman will remain infection free
2. Her transplant team will successfully be able to harvest 3 – 5 million stem cells.
3. This transplant would go smoothly and Alese will be forever cured from this terribly misunderstood cancer.
Thank you again, we appreciate your e-mails, letters and phone calls of prayers and encouragement.
I’ve said this before, but its worth repeating. There is no way we could have endured the last 5-1/2 years without our family, friends and our extended families at Journey of Faith and Honeywell.
With gratitude,
Kathy
