Journal entry by Emilie Donath-Crawford —
Round 1 complete, 7 to go!!
Helene is a few days from her 1st round of infusions and doesn't feel great. Normally she would be discharged by now, but due to the Sepsis (infection in her blood) she remains on IV antibiotics, he is scheduled to o home on 12/10, visit with Grandchildren and prepare for the next round when she enters the hospital on 12/22 for 3-6 days. She has to stay after the chemo infusion as she has a high likelihood of a reaction that requires immediate attention if this comes to pass.
For anyone interested in what assistance we have requested, please take a look at the ""Planner" section. If you sign up for any task, be it errands, helping around the house or a ride to the hospital, please make sure to provide all of your contact information, and know Helene will be depending on you for that task.
She remains appreciative for every prayer, well wish, note and text. Sorry if she doesn't have the energy to respond to each message KNOW she reads each one and feels your prayers lifting her up. Stand with us. # TeamHelene
