Well, it's been quite a while, but a lot has been happening, so I will try to summarize. I had my transfusion and then got pretty sick over the weekend. Went to the Emergency room and found out my blood count was down to 16. I was admitted to the hospital and given multiple transfusions. Unfortunately no one could find out a cause of the bleeding. After I was discharged they found that my ammonia level was very high then still higher a week later. The bottom line is that there is nothing more that can be done and my liver has shut down. So, no more chemo, no more treatments. A feww days later I became extremely ill and Hospice was called in. Right now I am comfortable and plan to remain so. Will I die tonight? maybe, maybe not for months. The plan is to keep me as comfortable as possible. As I get sicker my posts will get fewer but my sister Peggy will keep you all updated.
I am ok with this, I have asked God to give me strength as I continue down His path. So, meanwhile keep me in your prayers and I will keep you all in mine. God bless
Here we are!
Happy little family
This is reality

Hi Barb, praying that the good Lord will always bless you with peace and strength as you travel on this journey to whatever outcome it may hold.
Knowing how precarious your health may be I want to thank you for being my friend. Although it's been many years since neighborhood days and your time in Bethesda, you are a part of the youthful memories that always bring a smile to my face. God bless and keep you!
