I have not posted in months due to a whole bunch of stuff going on. Homeschooling, new office for our Farmers Agency, Kohl's (quit 3 weeks ago =), cleaning business, new niece & nephew, daily crazys and just life has been quite busy for us this year.
Well, it just got even busier.Dan, as most of you have heard, has been diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
He has not been feeling well most of this year. He had a real bad ear infection in beginning November and had some treatment for it. Then he continued to feel tired and not well, so he went back to the doctor and had blood tests done. His heart rate was rapid at the time of the visit and he had petechia. The blood tests showed his White Blood Cells were critically high and his Platelets were critically low. Saw an Oncologist the next day (12/7).
Dan was admitted to Banner Desert Hospital immediately and started tests and procedures right away. Including, Bone Marrow biopsy, CT scan, Muga Scan, cultures, blood labs, Spinal taps and so on. Bone Marrow showed B-cell Leukemia. CT scan showed enlarged spleen and Kidney Stone. Spinal Tap showed normal fluid but to be safe he is getting spinal chemotherapy also.
Started chemotherapy on 12/11. We are on day 4 of chemo with one spinal chemo.
Dan is ok. Not good, not horrible, just ok. He is really uncomfortable, nauseated, tired, exhausted, and just wants it all to end quickly. He wants to go home. He will continue treatment and continue to be tested to see how low all his cells go for the next several weeks.
Please pray. Please pray for Dan to recover soon. Please pray for our family who misses Dan. Please pray for our babies, Zak & Layla.
They miss their daddy very much.
Now that I am balling... I shall end this with a thank you.I appreciate all your love and support and donations. I truly know that we cannot climb, yet another mountain, with out all of you, right here behind us. Thank you for your encouragement and prayers.
Love, Laci xoxo
