Update... well kind of...

Hey everyone!

Still just sitting here waiting for my counts to slowly come up!! And slowwwww is how its going! I had an allergic reaction last week that has stayed with me for quite a few days now and I think we just about have it under control my face (yes my face) has started to look much better than Kwazi Mottos sister that I was looking like for too long! They have changed most of my meds that I was on for the whole entire time I was here the last time that's what is so weird but hey Im just trying to keep it interesting in here!!!

I am feeling absolutely GREAT!! Just ready to get outta here ASAP!! But who wouldn't!??

We got some news that if I go into remission this time around that I might not have to do the two consolidation rounds here and we can get the transplant going.... Now that's is referrals and insurance and where we decide I will have the transplant and if the donor is ready or my stem cells is the way to go (which is another thing we will be working on this week) So that is AMAZING news because the may or may not take away a couple months if this process... now if it takes too long then I would have another round here at St Joes to clean up left over cells or keep me in remission but like I have said before its all just a waiting game and we will take as it comes!!

Sorry if I don't text call or email back... I am feeling really good and love getting all of the messages its just a lot to write back to!!!
So Thank you everyone and keep praying please! :-)

update

So I thought I updated this the other night i must never hit send :/ Anyways it was not a long one!! This round of chemo ended today thank goodness!! It was horrible nothing like before!!! I was sick the whole time!!! Way different for being the same intro round I had the first time! Tomorrow I start the neuprogen shots to bring my counts back up! I started getting fever last night not sure why.... probably just from my counts so low...once again horrible! The Plan is to hopefully get outta here and on my break in between rounds head back to Cedars and up to Seattle to explore my options in a transplant...whether to us my own stem cells or see how close of a match we can get! So sorry For the long wait on an update I wonder where is went!! Keep praying! <3
