Update on Michelle

Just to let you know how Michelle is doing, we took her in on Tuesday to start the new drug that we talked about on the one of the previous posts, Rituxan. They drew her blood work first to see where she was at and it showed that her platelets went down a little bit lower than the previous time. So we started the infusion and things went fine. She had a little allergic reaction to the medication so they had to stop the infusion and give her some benedryl and solu-medrol to calm the reaction. They then restarted the infusion without any other problems. This is looking like it is going to take a little longer than we were hoping but we are praying and hoping for the best. Our spirits are high and we are just leaving it all in the Lord's hands. Michelle is a little tired all day long but other than that she is great. Just keep her in your prayers.
