Well Folks, Following another 4-day stay in the hospital, Jeanine is home again, but we are warned that precautions must absolutely be taken to prevent her from getting any possible kind of an infection, cold, flu, or anything like that! Regrettably we have had to post our doors with signs requesting "no physical contact at this time". When receiving any visitors, she will have to wear a mask. Anything that she comes in contact needs to be wiped down with a disinfectant first. It's a tough go for Jeanine, because you all know what a loving "hugger" she is! That ability will return after her platelets and the white blood cell count get back to where she has some immunity of her own. Everyone is so generous with flowers and food and all, be we have to ask that this be halted for now. She isn't even supposed to eat uncooked fruit and vegtables for risk that contaminates or chemicals many not be completely removed. We know that everyone will understand while we go through this not-uncommon delicate stage in her treatment. She received some kind of a major shot today that to aid in increasing the white blood count. Yesterday she received another infusion of platelets. We just need to be super careful for a while until her own body functions can protect her.
God Bless you each and every one; and she is going to beat this thing! Special prayerful thanks to Jan and Shelley for spending the long nights at her bedside in the hospital.
Bill
