I just talked to Jan...She and Mom arrived safely yesterday. The docs just came in and reported that the bleeding in Donna's lung (or lungs...not sure if it was 1 or both) is reduced. This was the first we heard that the lung(s) was bleeding. As of now, Donna's oxygen requirement is reduced - a good thing - and they are discussing reducing her steroid dose. Her platelet count has been down, but she received 2 transfusions yesterday and 1 over night and as of this morning her count is coming back up.
Joel is on his way home, back to Virginia, so that he can prepare to return to work Monday. Please keep him in your prayers along with Donna. I am sure that being away from her will play heavily on him, but the time has come that he has to return to work.

Hi, Donna,
ReplyDeletePraying that today is a better day. Been thinking about you SO much! Miss talking to you terribly. But know you need to store up all your strength to get well. I am so anxious to come and see you, as well. Hope Mom and Sis are spoiling you! Take care...and if you need me....just holler! You remember the card I sent you...."Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on. For, it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need...somebody to lean on." You keep on fighting, Girlfriend.
I love you,
Suzanne
