OT - Could you send along more pixie dust to Peggie, please? update 12/31

[lovingthemouse]

Unfortunately Peggie is back at St. Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport, CT as of this noon. Her red count is below 1 (.6 actually) and I believe she told me the norm is between 4.8 -10. You nurses would know far more than I about the blood levels. So, if you have an extra moment, and some extra pixie dust just taking up space, please send some her way. How ironic that a week after she has her chemo treatments, these problems seem to creep up. Thanks. Caroline

The good news is that Peggie is heading home today - the red count is up and her temp has been normal for over 24 hours now. The sad news is that while Peggie is heading home, her friend Ritchie, her wonderful caregiver, is now in the hospital. It appears that after an echocardiogram, the pain he experienced this week was after suffering 4 heart attacks - yes, i said 4 heart attacks this week. So, if you could please keep both of them in your prayers, that would be wonderful. Thanks. Caroline

Again, nurses will know much more than I, but isn't that *normal*? Only stating this as we went through this for years with my SIL.
I really feel for Peggie and anyone fighting this tough battle. My heart goes out to them. No one should have to endure so much, emotionally and physically.

Lots of ((( ))) and PD to Peggie! We are behind you all the way, Peggie!! PD on the way!

Dear Peggie,

I am sending lots more pixie dust for you. You need to beat this so you can see Mickey in Florida : )

Oh, Peggie... I read the title of Caroline's post and I immediately started to cry. I couldn't help it. It's been a very emotional day for me, and I guess that just was the last straw.

I am sending you as many prayers and as much pixie dust as I can muster up.
