OT: Update Straight From Bekah's Mom

This is from Angela...Thought I'd copy and paste the email directly, instead of trying to repeat it. For now, she has been unable to break her fever. She's not doing as well as she has in the past....And apparently, they have moved up the date of the next big Columbus round....

Rachel

------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Rebekah is still in the hospital with fever. She has been there since Wed. Hopefully, she will get to come home Mon. Maybe! SHe will go for a test on thursday where they will put this special dye in her which will light of where all the cancer is. Then , the following week, she will have her 5th round of chemo. The week after that, she will have some more tests- catscan,ect. Right before her 6th round, whe will have surgery if they find anymore tumor they can remove. Probably sometime in October. She will have her 7th round of chemo in Columbus followed by her transplant. This will take place sometime around Thanksgiving and we will be there 6-8weeks She will have a week or two break and then have 2 wks of radiation. Please continue to keep her in your prayers. She has suffered so much. Thanks for everything! Angela"

It may be because I feel horrible, but I'm crying like a baby for Bekah and family. That poor baby deserves a break!

Gawd that is heart breaking..... sigh

Rachel - are there any local things going on in the Dayton Area.... that I could spread the word...

Weaver's guild meets Tuesday - and Youngs Jersey Dairy is sponsoring "Wool Gathering" next weekend....

Weaver's Guild has a fall artisan show in Yellow Springs (November 19 this year) - we always have a raffle for the guild - but I might get them to let you have a table for a raffle or collection for Bekah....

Poor baby. Sending hugs and vibes to her and the family.

Have they already found her a donor match?

and...(on an ancillary note)...is everyone who is capable to be a donor already registered? It's a very simple blood test...(not just for our Bekah, but for everyone with the need...)

Not to sound stupid here, but registered with who, and for what? I am already registered to donate blood with the American Red Cross. Infact I just donated today.

I hope everyone reads this and becomes educated on the possibility of saving someone's life through the very small act of donating bone marrow!

I assume everyone is aware of being organ donors...(I intentionally use the word "aware", because if it is against some one's personal ethics somehow, fine, but we can all be aware!)
