Day 57 - Over the past several days Faye's counts dropped to the point where she received a much needed blood transfusion yesterday. The transfusion was the typical 3 hour ordeal after which she went across the street for her daily dose of radiation. Alarmingly, the radiation session was aborted when Dr. Liu, while reviewing the pre-radiation scan (they scan to align Faye to the lasers), noticed spots on Faye's lungs. Steve and Faye were promptly sent over to Childrens for more scans. Faye went 'NPO' (no food or drink) once again and is scheduled for more procedures this morning and surgery this afternoon; a 'bronchoscopy', that we hope will indicate that this is 'just' an infection of a 'treatable' variety. Either way we will be residing once again in the Hospital BMT unit for an indeterminate period of time depending on path of treatment and response to treatment. I need not mention that this is devastating to Faye. In some ways I'm relieved as lately she's been increasingly uncomfortable and I believe that she will get some much needed treatment that will bring her some relief and comfort. ~Lolly
