Update on Maryanne........

Nurses General Nursing

Published

She is in the hospital. Her White & Red Blood cells are extremly low, as well as her platelets. Her liver function test is very high, which indicates leukemia. They will be doing a Bone Marrow biopsy tomorrow morning. They will be medicating her with Morphine and Vicoden . She is on strict precautions so anyone entering the room has to be gloved, masked, and gowned. She is at very high risk for a serious blood infection.They have her on IV fluids and IV antibiotic as a precaution.

If it is leukemia (they are almost certain it is) she will need Chemotherapy and possibly radiation (depending on the type of leukemia). She very well may need blood transfusions too, but they are trying to wait on that for as long as they can. This has an 80% cure rate. I am worried sick, but confident that she can make a complete recovery. Keep the prayers up and Thank You....

You're in my prayers as well. God Bless you Both!

I will add my voice to the swell of prayers rising to heaven. My daughters, too, will pray for your daughter. Your little girl has a special place in God's heart and I know He holds her there...may He give you peace and comfort and touch your daughter with His healing hand. May His hand guide the physicians and nurses who care for her to bring about a full recovery.

Take some comfort in the knowledge that you have an abundance of prayers ascending and many, many thoughts are with you.

Sheryl,

My heart sank as I read your post. As a parent, I can not imagine your pain. As a nurse, I can not imagine your fear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter. It's a long road, but children are amazing. You will be amazed of the strength you will draw from her. God bless you and your family. Give her a big hug and tell her we are all behind ya'll!
