Still not sure where we'll be this weekend

We're still waiting to find out if the April 12 date is going to work out for the donor. If we get that date, Mina Brigitta won't get any more chemo until her conditioning starts on April 4. They'll be content to let her recover from the round she got last weekend, and they would let us stay at home as long as she doesn't have any fevers. However, we need to know by Friday because she's due for another round of chemo starting Friday afternoon. So if the date is pushed back to the 19th, or even if we don't know yet, they'll go ahead and give her the chemo and hope nothing happens. So we still don't know if we're going back into the hospital Friday or not.

Mina Brigitta had kind of a tough day today, and by extension so did Keri, who was alone with both kids all day. She woke up at 4 am with a poop and didn't go back to sleep until 9:30. She slept for an hour and a half, but then was tired and cranky all day. She had another 2 and a half hour nap in the late afternoon, then had a light dinner and went to bed early. No fevers or anything, but she does look very pale. She's going into the clinic and getting blood work done tomorrow for the first time since last Friday; I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up getting a blood transfusion. She probably has some mucositis going as well, since her poops have seemed kind of uncomfortable the last day or two.

    Dear Mina, Keri, Arne and Isaac,

    Not a day passes without ardent prayers that divine grace sees you through your ordeal. Stay strong and positive every step of the way, aware of the limitless love, goodwill and prayers that surround you all the time.

    Hari
