Day Five

Thank you again to everyone who has offered their support! A donation account has been set up in my mom's name at Red Canoe Credit Union 810 Burkhart St. SE, Albany, OR , 97322(by Wells Fargo and in the same lot as Napa) Just go to the credit union and let them know you'd like to add to the Karen Wetzel donation account. (or give to one of us and we'll deposit for you).

I talked with her a couple of hours ago and they have the biopsy report back. It is definitely Acute Myeloid Leukemia. But it is the best of the worst in terms of leukemia. So that is good news! They are planning to start her on a continuous drip of chemo this afternoon. She'll be on that for 7 days. 14 days from now they'll do another bone marrow biopsy to see if the chemo is working, the game plan from there depends on how its going. Looks like earliest she could be home is March 11th. Just in time for Kasey's birthday the 14th!

Thank you to Pastor Wally who has offered to let us borrow his unused laptop while she is in the hospital! Thank you to Jen for helping me clean their house this morning and for cooking Dad some spaghetti tonight!

  1. Hi Karen,

    We are thinking of you and praying for you. This is certainly a one day at a time fight - try not to look too far ahead. I always have found James 1:2-5 to be of particular encouragement to be when I have gone through times of uncertainty and challenge. Know that there are many who are praying and holding you up in prayer and love! We are 'ringing those bells' for you! Love, Lisa :)
