Well...Jeanine was really dreading this go round, as you may have read. But she went in bravely, as we knew she would, only to learn that her white blood cell count was too low to get her treatment today. She is to return next week, hopefully fully recovered and ready to go....if not she will get a shot of...ummm...I forget what, to boost her WBCs.
The good news....she gets a whole extra week to feel good and rebound from the last chemo, AND this might change her schedule so that she won't get a treatment right before Thanksgiving, which would have been really bad timing anyway!!
Woohoo....we often find good in the strangest situations!!! (Thanks God!)

Donations for Jeanine
You can still help offset Jeanine and Dick's financial expenses by sending donations to:
425 Highland
Abilene, TX 79605
Attention: Robin
Please specify "Jeanine's account" on your donation.
In Dick's words...:Jeanine, you know you are in a win-win situation here. If you are healed on earth, you win! If you are healed in heaven, YOU WIN!" (paraphrased)
When Jeanines Journey began we asked for your help to offset their expenses...mostly for trips to Houston. Many people gave very generously at that time and they made it through that phase of the battle without undue financial stress. Now they are battling on another front...Jeanine has been hospitalized for a week. She is not yet ready to be released.
If you are seeking opportunities to help, this might be a great time to make a contribution. Small amounts are fine...they add up. Thank you from the Wharton's for all that you have done, and I thank you too, for allowing me to speak for them in ways that they would never speak for themselves.
In a Nutshell as of 3-7-2010
- Platelet count and hemoglobin up to normal!
- Chemo re-started 3-5 due to cancer cells in abdominal fluid.
- Great nights Friday and Saturday and sitting in chair Sunday.
