September 20 - Day 30


I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the results of the last test. This morning it was confirmed 100% that Evelyn is in remission!! :) :). Praise the Lord!! We are over the moon excited and cried a lot of happy tears. We are so thankful to God for bringing us to this point, He has kept Evelyn in His care and given her the strength to fight these last four weeks. Treatment continues as planned and will for the next two years. If she wasn't in remission she would have to go through radiation and/or multiple blood transfusions with a lot of unknowns. If all goes well this weekend next week we will be discharged and come back weekly as outpatients. Today Evelyn started her 24 hour chemotherapy - given through IV. The nurses are keeping a close eye on her because of her previous troubles with her port needle and are staying on top of her anti-nausea medications to help keep her comfortable. She is also starting a chemo in pill form (crushed and put through her NG tube) that will be given for 14 days. We suspect she will be feeling pretty lousy and tired the next couple days. Please continue to keep Evelyn in your prayers as we jump this last hurdle and hopefully be able to return home next week.
