It's Micki again. I've been told Randi is going home today at noon!!! YAY!

Also the doctors in New Mexico are working hard on getting her admitted into MD Anderson - Houston, within two weeks.

I will let you know if there are anymore changes.

Thanks again for your continued support and prayers!

Monday June 29th Morning

This is sis-in-law Micki again. Ali is still in Colorado so I will be updating today.

We have good news!! Randi's blood counts keep going up so the doctors are probably going to let her go home in the next few days. She will be able to stay home for the next couple of weeks. The doctors will re-evaluate her blood after a couple of weeks and determine the next move as far as whether or not she will need to go to Houston for the bone marrow transplant or just start the next round of chemo. We are however, still waiting to find a donor match for her bone marrow.

No matter how well she does she will have to complete all required rounds of chemo to prevent a relapse.

All in all folks she is doing great!! Keep praying for her recovery.

Thank you for you continued support.

Yeah, God is Good, God is Great. Thank you dear Lord.
They confirmed today that there are no blast cells in her bone marrow. She does not have any white blood cells as I understand it, so now its a wait to see what kind she grows back. Keep praying we want good ones, of course. She is still having good days and bad days, we never know which one until she wakes up.

Still waiting to hear about her brothers test, it will be weeks before there are results. So more waiting, and waiting..

Good News, Randi had a biopsy late last week. The Dr said initially it looks clean. (no blast cells) They still have to send it out to the lab for more accurate results.

She is still not felling well. She is fighting a infection, they believe started in her port line. She is having fevers and nausea also. We pray this will all resolve soon with the infections, so they can start preparing her for the trip to MD Anderson..

I will let everyone know when we get final results from the biopsy..

Thanks for the prayers.

Randi is still not feeling well. She is really dealing with the nausea, and being really tired. She is still not up to visitors, so please stay away so she can get better.

If you are interested http://www.marrow.org/index.html is having free registration this week through the 22. You can check out the site for more info. It is the new web site for National bone marrow program. It is a great thing. If you do give blood I know united blood services here in Alb. will do the testing,for free, to put you on the list. Just ask when you donate blood.

Hi, sorry its been a while. I have been in Tx for a while now and not getting updates. I do know that she was feeling really crudy for a while. She is still tried and nauesa. From a second hand report, I know her white blood count is going up and there are still no blast cells in her blood test. Praise God! They will probably do another bone marrow test this next week.

The boys are enjoying a nice week with us in Texas visting with my parents,(which are Geoff's too), thier aunts, uncle and cousins. I know they are anxious to get back and see their mom and dad.

Until later
