16 Oct 2010

Over the last three weeks, two of Lynne's blood levels are trending to critical levels. Her white count is low, so we are taking precautions by avoiding crowds. Even more critical is her platelet level. Three years ago the platelet level reached levels where doctors were concerned about hemorrhaging, necessitating blood and platelet transfusions. We will meet with the oncologist on Monday to discuss further. Her next chemotherapy treatment was set for Monday as well but I suspect she will not have that treatment to prevent further degradation of the platelet level. She is more lethargic than normal, which affects her speech and ability to ambulate. Lynne is concerned and would appreciate your prayers.

Regard,
Darryl

Darryl,
So sorry to hear this latest news. As always we are praying -- but will be especially mindful of the blood counts.
Love you both!
