Day 28 Bone Marrow

Olivia had her bone marrow test tonight. Dr Bernstein was going to do a spinal tap and administer chemo to her spinal column but he said she was to "oozy". Olivia is still off the prisma machine so she is retaining more fluids. She is starting to develop bed sores so they are rotating her every two hours. Olivia is in more pain because she has become more used to the pain meds. She will sometimes cry with out making a sound, because of the ventilator, and it just breaks your heart.

Olivia is still maintaining her body temp and her blood pressure is doing well. Overall she looks better as long as you only look at her face. We should find out the results of the bone marrow test tomorrow night. We are hoping that she will still be in remission.

Thanks again for all the support we couldn't get through this without it.

I was happy to hear about her blood pressure and body temp and praying that she's still in remission as well. Hang in there. You are a wonderful, strong family. You have a lot of fans who are pulling for you, and hoping for the best.
