We have heart wrenching news. Lorelei has relapsed. She is going to need a bone marrow donor. Her blood type is O+. If you are an O+ also and would like to be tested to see if you match please contact me. Ross said he will pay for the test if need be. I will try to find out what is necessary to get tested. The plan is; once a match is found, the doctors will give Lorelei a really big dose of chemo to clean out her system and then they will do the transplant. Her counts are going down as we speak. I am not sure how long she can go with out the transplant. She will go in for a pic line on Thursday and bone marrow aspiration and spinal tap on Monday. PLEASE forward this to everyone you know. She is at home right now and does not look sick. She is getting tired a little more often. She is a happy little girl, she is fearless! She loves to climb and play and loves to go.....I am attaching a picture we took this morning. I am also including a link to a very informative web sight about donating bone marrow. FAQs about Joining the Registry - as a bone marrow donor.
