Update on Sara
Sara’s been doing great, happy to be home, and is enjoying as much free time with Owen.
Her biggest challenge is adapting to being home in her normal environment without having nearly as much energy as she’s used to. But this is all normal and she likes to & needs to be reminded this is temporary.
On Friday she had another round of labs and another Bone Marrow Biopsy; which she was sedated for. She woke up with a smile and Mambo No. 5 on her mind; she heard it in the OR, and dreamt the song while she was under.
Her blood counts appear to look great, and we’ll get a better interpretation of them as well as her Bone Marrow Biopsy tomorrow with her medical team at OHSU.
She will likely be admitted for her 1st of 4 consolidation treatments of chemotherapy either tomorrow or Wednesday where I anticipate us being there between 4-6 days. As you can imagine she’s not very excited to go back but of course can’t wait to get all of this behind her.
Tomorrow is a big day - I’m optimistic on her BMB results!
Thank you all for your continued love and support!
Much love to you all! - S&S
