<\/p>\nJon and Geli got into Children’s Hospital last night and finally got moved into a room around 2am.<\/p>\n
We signed off to get some sleep around 2:30am and I’ve not heard from them this morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There was some initial confusion regarding the blood work and it looked like it might not be leukemia, but rather an atypical form of mono.<\/p>\n
After some more tests, and a meeting with the Hematology\/Oncology Doctor, his initial feeling is that it is a type or form of Leukemia that we are fighting against. <\/p>\n
Her platelets were low enough last night that they gave her a transfusion over night. She also had her blood work re-done and had an x-ray.<\/p>\n
The plan for today, as of last night (or early this morning), was to do a bone marrow biopsy and to test some of her spinal fluid. Both of these tests should bring more answers.<\/p>\n
There has been some discussion with the Dr. at Children’s about the possibility of using Cord Blood from the baby to help Angelica and we should know more on that today.<\/p>\n
It’s not something that we had thought about or looked into or planned for and so we need grace and wisdom and the timing of everything to work out perfectly.<\/p>\n
I have an appointment with my midwife this morning at 10am and obviously will have a ton to discuss.<\/p>\n
We will continue to update and let you know where we are at and we so covet your prayers at this time.<\/p>\n
Things to pray for:<\/strong><\/p>\n Angelica seems way too calm according to the staff at the hospital. She has a tendency to process her feelings and emotions very slowly and so we are just praying for her that she will be able to process all that she is going through and not stuff her feelings and emotions. Please pray for health and strength both physically and emotionally as she walks this road before her.<\/p>\n I’m feeling extremely emotional and try though I might I can’t seem to stop crying. Physically, the baby was moving a ton last night and so he seems quite happy. I am needing to be at peace and to be able to be confident that none of this is a surprise to God. Pray for perfect timing for the delivery of this little one and that all the details would be sorted out smoothly and in His perfect time.<\/p>\n Xandra and Jeremy are both upset and processing what all of this means to them and to their sister and to their family and they are doing so on an 9 and 12 year old level. Please keep them in your prayers as well.<\/p>\n Siah seems blissfully unaware at this point.<\/p>\n We could use prayer for all our family\/friends as this is their Grand daughter, niece, cousin, friend and the uncertainty can be stressful.<\/p>\n Health and Peace, Faith and Wisdom! Those are the biggest things that we need right now…….thank you.<\/p>\n 11:30am update:<\/strong><\/p>\n Home from my midwife appt. Things look okay with me and baby. Wheels set in motion to be ready and able to collect cord blood. Geli had to receive another platelet transfusion as her counts needed to be above 50 to do the bone marrow biopsy and they were up to a 40 from the initial count of 9. So she’s received the 2nd transfusion and they are waiting on the numbers to proceed with the biopsy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jon and Geli got into Children’s Hospital last night and finally got moved into a room around 2am.
