Amelia had a GREAT day today (other than her platelets). We had her up and walking around and she actually sat (not just leaned over) in a chair today. This is the first time she sat in a chair (or anything other than her car set) for several weeks. She looked really good sitting. She had a little sparkle in her eye, something we have not seen in a number of weeks. She really had a great day and was smiling with us and talking and interacting.
The blood docs visited us this afternoon and said they were wanting to to a bone marrow test. They talked to us about the possibility last week if her platelets did not stabilize and they have not, so we are scheduled for a biopsy tomorrow at noon. We have also been working with a doctor at the blood bank and they are going to try to match her blood antibodies to platelets in hopes they can find a donor who's platelets will not be attacked by Amelia's immune system. Hopefully this will allow her platelets to last longer and help her improve faster.
She continues to improve her eating and lab work (other than platelets) continue to show slight signs of improvement as well. However, we still see no light at the end of the tunnel for a home coming.
Please pray for our bone marrow study tomorrow. The procedure carries a very low risk, but with her immune system still low, there is still the possibility. Please also pray we get some good news from the study. Finally, pray a compatible match can be found for her platelets so we can reduce the number of transfusions we are getting.
Blessings
