Brooke Update re Chemo - OT

Brooke got her second round of chemo last weekend (sorry I've waited so long
to post, but have been in bed with the flu and away from a computer for a
while). She has her first three in the hospital then checked out Tuesday,
the 10th, then went back for an out-patient chemo on Saturday the 14th.
This second one was worse on her than the first (and from those who have
been there I've heard it just gets steadily worse from here). She started
losing quite a bit of hair so my daughter made special arrangements for her
to have her senior pictures taken early, they did that on Monday the 16th.
So you can see that I've had other things on my mind than what's going on
here (gads I wish there were a "catch up" place to go to see what I've been
missing).

Anyway, my hands are still shaking from this flu and I'm finding it hard to
type so I have to sign off again for a while.

Ah God, I just heard from Erin and she told me they had to rush Brooke back
to Children's Hospital with a fever of 104. Her platelet count after the
last chemo dipped too low and she picked up an infection from somewhere.
Please, guys, send prayers and purrs for my little one.

Brooke is in our thoughts. We are sending lots and lots of purrs and
gentle hugs for her. Lots of purrs for you to recover from flu, CN,
Polonca and Soncek

Purrs on constant supply from the Fairfax Fur Factory, and good
healing thoughts from the hoomin.

"One way that you can tell that 'Mythbusters' has been in the area
is to look for shrapnel in the trees." - Jamie Hyneman

Try not to stress if you can.
This is an example of why I get the infrequent call from the Blood
Bank
asking me to donate *platelets* instead of whole blood (this is the
double
arm deal that takes *hours* because I have something special in my
blood
that kids in Brooke's current need can use to fight infection. I don't
know
what it is, or anything more aboout platelet donation, except that she
might
need some; from what they tell me at the Blood Bank.(infection, etc.).
All
I know about platelets is that I take a med that keeps them from
making
clots and/or sticking to my arteries. Hope Brooke's crises is
suppressed soon.

-------------------------

You're right - they gave her a transfusion last night. I am so freaked out
about this even though people tell me this is what to expect with this
disease, I can't help it, this is my first grandchild and it's scaring the
bejeesus out of me!
