Saturday July 28 10 a.m. update from Alicia
Hello there ....
Last night Bonnie called me... I hadn't heard from her in days...and i hadn't seen her since last Sunday. Anyway, she sounded great, wanted to talk...... I asked her if I could spend the night at the hospital with her and she said, "sure, if you want to...." I told her that if she was going to give me an in, I was going to be there.... so.... I asked again and she said come on up!
I arrived Friday night at 1030 and I was VERY pleasantly surprised by her spirit,beauty, grace, attitude... and most importantly, her lack of pain. Her pain had subsided a bit, thank God. She was lucid and coherent.....We talked for hours... I gave her a back massage and foot massage... she loves to be touched.... she was really amazing. It was so incredible to see her and I told her that i was going to be the envy of all her friends... cuz i got to see her. :) I told her how much everyone misses her and wants to see her. She barely remembers this past horrible week. The nurse that came in this morning (Saturday) had taken care of her Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and couldn't believe it was the same person. She told me that earlier in the week Bonnie was suffering so much pain and having hallucinations, etc....
In any case, she is still pain...don't get me wrong. It just isn't as severe as it was. Her right arm is still numb... they think that something is pushing on a nerve... And she is short of breath, etc. Her one lung is completely infected... they STILL don't know what it is, so the Dr. came in this am and said that they are just going to keep treating it with anti-fungal, anti-biotics, etc..... they don't want to do a biopsy right now because of the risk of infection.
Lots of family is coming in today.. her uncle from Southern California is a pulmonary specialist and her aunt is an internist. Aunt Hope from Texas is coming in tomorrow... Sunday. The kids are visiting her today around noon... she is so excited to see them.
She loves loves loves getting text messages. So if any of you want to, text her.....
Let's keep praying for a miracle for our Bonnie... they need to clear those lungs and then she needs to get into remission... they don't know her white blood count yet. And.. she decided to hold off on the bone marrow biopsy for a bit....
Anyway, that is all I know.....
Love to you all..
Alicia
