Monday Morning Update

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Everything's going well, thank God. I'm going for a CBC today locally to see how my hemoglobin is doing. . . to see whether I can hold out until my appointment next Monday or if I'll have to go in this week for a transfusion. This is the longest I've gone without one. I kinda thought that the whole tranfusion thing was over. Wishful thinking, I guess.

I haven't heard any bone marrow biopsy pathology results. Nor have I heard anything from the dermatologist about the skin biopsies. I'm scheduled to go back to the dermatologist tomorrow for the suture removal but I don't think I'm going to make a special trip just for that. If I have to go in for a transfusion, then obviously I'll do both. But if I don't need to go in for blood, I'm going to a) call the dermatologist and see if the suture removal can wait until next Monday or b) have a friend remove the sutures here at home. Either way's ok with me.

I don't have too much to report. Just wanted to leave a quick update so my bestest friends/fans don't get too angry with me! Thank you again for being there.

  1. Leah,

    Thanks for posting. I always worry about you. I am glad you are doing well. I go in on Thursday of next week for my hickman placement, and then I start the photopheresis on July 9th. It can't come soon enough for me. Anyway, take care, and keep us posted. Always love and hugs coming your way.

  2. Hi Leah, I have been having trouble with my computer. For some reason I have nt been able to respond to your blog. Well, I hope this works. I'm so happy for you. You're reaching some great milestones in your recovery. Unfortunately, you still have some bumps in the road but I believe you'll take it on gracefully and fight back. It was so good to see you and the family. Thanks again Illana for always having your door and your heart open for shabbos. I hope father's day wasn't too sad. Your comfort should be knowing Sammy is always watching over you all. All my love, Buford
