Treatment StoppedN
Nellie not able to tolerate treatment. High dose ara-C and Fludarabine too strong and causing terrible fevers and neurological eeffects. Also causing kidney failure. Treatment stopped. Dr says she cannot tolerate this treatment and there is likely no other remedy for her. Dr is concerned she will not recover from this effort.
She osolates between sleep and semi consciousness. Not able to speak in sentenses, lift her legs or recognize people. Dr says to prepare the family for option to resusatate. Don't know how much time we have. I am hoping she will recover some of her faculties well enough to have a nice Mother's Day, and maybe more. We sure can use a miracle about now. Thank you God.
