Blasts

September 16, 2009

Today Alisha's CT Scan showed lesions in her kidneys. The Doctor says this is normal and it should clear up with the aid of anti-fungal medication. The bone marrow biopsy results show blasts at 24%. Blasts (premature white blood cells (leukemia cells)) showing under 5% would be considered "in remission."

Alisha was thrilled that she had her i.v. removed today as she gained more range of movement.

On the lighter side, Alisha has been diligently working on a 550 piece puzzle of a cheeseburger. Alisha has commented that she does not want to go home because she likes hospital food.
