February 24, 2009: It has been almost a week since the last entry, but I feel at this time, that unless there is something happening or some progress to report it would be giving you information that is inconclusive.
Yesterday, Jill went to the lab for her third blood draw since she arrived home. The results will be in tomorrow so there will be an update following this one. Last week, Jill passed out completely, but yesterday she was fine. She reported feeling tired in the afternoon, but other than that she did very well. She was afraid that it might happen again but thank God everything was good. The technician even sang to her. She was so nice and compassionate.
Tomorrow she goes to the cardiologist to see if there is any connection between the passing out and her heart. Dr Burt suggested that she wear a monitor to detect any abnormalities. Since our family has such a strong history of heart problems and Cardiomyopathy, it is better to have this episode checked out further.
Jill's eyebrows and eyelashes have fallen out too. The chemotherapy that she was given when she went back for the transplant caused whatever was left to fall out. She looks frail, but her spirits are up. This is a difficult time because of the restrictions she has to follow. I know that she can't wait to be able to go out again. She has been cold and sneezing a lot which I think is from allergies. I can't wait for the warm weather so she can sit outside again.
Love
Doreen
