Saturday

I owe you an update.  This is difficult on several levels.  I haven't been able to see Roger myself since Wednesday.  Or was it Thursday?  I've lost track of the days.  I am so completely wiped out by this chest cold I can't even think straight.

I have talked to Roger on the phone, and that's reassuring, but it's frustrating not to be able to get the information first-hand. Good news: Roger managed to eat 1000 calories yesterday!  And the infections are still improving with the help of many, many antibiotics and antifungals.  Bad news:  the leukemia cells are increasing.  We are still waiting to see if the donated T-cells are going to be able to start manufacturing good blood cells.  Without them, Roger won't stand a chance against leukemia.

You know what to pray for.  Go T-cells, go!

  1. Hi Candi, it's Heather Thorup- daughter to Dave & Shelly Devey and roger's niece. We haven't seen him since I was probably 15, but I have been trying to get updates from my Mom. I am sorry for everything you are going through, and he too. Just wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
