unscheduled MRI today
4/4/2005

As you know Lori started BCNU iv chemo on 3/7 and started daily pill form chemo Gleevec & Hydroxyurea & also Rapamune. All was going well until 2 weeks ago when she started having bloody noses - thought at 1st just normal bloody noses but progressed to gushing & never stopping completely.

Recap of what happened - ER on 3/25 where they did a blood test (the week before her blood tests were normal) to find all blood counts very low. ER started a platelet transfusion & admitted her to the hospital where she received 2 bags of blood & a bag of potassium & several bags of saline because she was dehydrated. She stayed in the hospital Friday to Easter Sunday. Went back to the hospital for a blood test on Tuesday. Wednesday received a neupogen (to boost white blood cells) shot, Thursday another shot & blood test, Friday another shot & blood test, Erik had to learn how to give a shot & gave it to her on Saturday & Sunday. He took her to the hospital this morning for shot & test. She fell at the hospital. He said she is not coherent. Her next MRI was scheduled for next Thursday 4/14 and is now scheduled tonight at 7:00 pm.

Please pray.

Linda
