This is what Acre's wrote today on her bolg. I think you call it that.

Just got news Dr. Edwards got to look at one slide and said that there were very few Luekemia (sp?) cells in the blood smears....but it doesn't completely rule it out because the other slides could contain all the info needed. The biospy will take a couple of days...the special studies will or should be back tomorrow afternoon. As before she will receive more blood today. If the results come back as a viral supression she can go home but if it does come back as Luekemia they want her here so they could go ahead and start treatment.....only if needed

Acre, my families thoughts and prayers are with you. When it affects our children...that's the worst!


Ginbart, my squares were waiting for me when I got home from my travels. They are lovely, and of great variety. Thanks Ladies!

(strips, not squares) My head is not attached today.

Here's an update,

Well, Heaven was sleeping so good until just before 6 a.m.the nurse came and tried to draw blood form the IV's but she was unable to do so. So they call a young man up form the Lab and he tried her right hand, had a good vein but then when the needle went in the vein dissappeared....but he was able to draw blood from her left hand. The IV in her right arm is basically considered "dry" so Lord willing they will be removing it today.

Another update, Wayne 'n' Angela Cobler
O.K. we just got the news....... Myeloid Leukemia..... she will have to take Chemo for about 6 months with the leukemia going into remission within a few weeks or less. A tough pill to swallow. Please keep praying the emotions are running high.

With the treatments she will have to be in the hospital for 3 to 5 days at a time once every 3 to 4 weeks.

I haven't been on in a few days..........I'm so sorry to hear this. Special thoughts & prayers to you & your family Angela.

I did chemo for six months in 2010. It really wasn't that bad for me. Hopefully it won't be so bad for Heaven too

They really take care of you when you do the chemo. I'll bet she'll be a real trooper and get through this without a hitch! Attitude is everything here!
