Day 25 Update

Kristy has been holding her own fairly well. She is beginning to get a little bit of kidney function so this is a step in the right direction. She still receives dialysis almost daily and it is pretty tough on her, so it would be great for those kidneys to kick in.
Her WBC was .700 today and the doctors have scheduled a Bone Marrow biopsy on Thursday to see what the cells are doing. Hopefully, she is growing the donor cells, and just may need a few more to get her WBC up and running. This test will give the information the docs need to assess if she will need another transplant of cells, and time to schedule with the donor to obtain the marrow, so that it can be done promptly. It was described this way by Dr. McCarty: If you re-seed your lawn with 5 pounds of seed, and it needs 10 pounds, then it's good to get the balance of those seeds on the lawn quickly. So this is the latest plan!

She is still having a pretty rough time of it; terrible mouth and throat sores, but she still tries to drink and eat the things that they want her to ingest.

We sure appreciate your prayers for her and the children.
