Friday the 13th is not our friend.

The short version:

On Friday the 13th they looked at the CBC drawn in preparation for surgery and found 26,000 white blood cells and 19,000 were "Blasts" That = Lewquimia. I will not ever learn to spell that most hated of "L" words.

We are at Children's Hospital and M-E began her Chemo yesterday. 2.5 years from now we will be going to have a really big party. End of treatment day.

E-mail me, leave a message on my cell. Call at home in about a week. E-mail Quilting_goddess@yahoo.com, 206-605-9224, home 206-707-0708. If mom answers just tell her you want to leave a message. This hospital is very difficult to get through to and it is hard to talk about all that is going on with M-E here. I can report that she has a great attitude and has had no ill effects yet. She reported the "This is WAR"
