Here are some pictures of my grandbabies from when they came to visit me in AZ in November.

Hi Everyone:

I just got home from being in the hospital for 10 days and I have to admit, it feels wonderful to not be looking at four walls and a small room.

I went to Dr. Verdi, on Jan. 15th and after taking a blood test, my white cell count went down to .7, which is neutropenic. He admitted me to the hospital immediately for another Bone marrow biopsy.

On Sunday I received a "Good Report" that there are no leukemia cells in the bone marrow.
That is a huge Praise and I am so grateful to God that I am in remission.

My white cell count had to be treated with medication to push the count up so I had to remain in the hospital.
On Saturday, my Hickman line (which was inserted surgically when I first went into the hospital), got a hole in the line so I had to undergo another surgical procedure for a new one to be inserted. After a platelet transfusion, they were able to do the surgery. Needless to say it was quite traumatic. I was unable to be fully sedated so I was fully aware of what was happening. I am thankful it is behind me.

I appreciate all of your prayers for continue healing and that my bone marrow will make the cells normal.

God Bless, Love, Sharon

Sharon has been in the hospital since Thursday, Jan. 12th.

She was admitted because her white blood cell counts dropped significantly over a 10 day time period. This caused concern for the return of Leukemic cells.

Thankfully, after a bone marrow biopsy, the test did not show any blasts (bad Leukemic cells).

The main goal of her hospitalization is to rebuild her white blood cells. As a result she will not start her 3rd round of chemo until a later date (unknown at this time).

Please continue to pray!

This blog is now open to readers by invitation only. Thank you for reading about Sharon's journey and supporting her in the many ways that you do.

Sharon is a tough cookie - for this I am thankful! She is clinging to the Word of God -

"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song." Isaiah 12:2

Hi to My Faithful Prayer Warriors:

I went into the hospital for my second round of chemo on December 21st and was blessed to get out on Christmas Day to be with family.
I responded well to the treatment and am so thankful.

Every week now I have to go in to the Drs. office to have my blood checked and last Friday my platelets were low and I had to go
back to the hospital for a platelet transfusion.

This week unfortunately my white cell count has dropped from 3,500 to 1,400 so I will be going back to the hospital probably the end of next week.
My Dr. is going to give me another week home and then I will have to return to the hospital for a bone marrow test and more chemo.

I appreciate your love and prayers and am trusting God for His healing MIRACLE!

Wishing all of you a Happy, Healthy New Year!

In His Grip, Love, Sharon

Reason for Concern

Sharon saw her hematologist today. Unfortunately her 'white blood cell count' has dramatically decreased since last week (rather than increasing). Dr. V is concerned but was reluctant to provide conclusions to her count until further testing is done.

Dr. V plans to do another blood/bone marrow biopsy sometime next week. And Sharon may be admitted at that time for her third round of chemo. Depending on the result of the biopsy the course of treatment may change.

Last week she had to go in to the hospital for a platelet transfusion so that continues to be of concern as well.

Please continue to pray for Sharon and for her will to FIGHT!

Peace,

Angie
