Lisa is supposed to start chemo on Wed. and hopefully that will still happen, but this afternoon she started getting nose bleeds again and for some unknown reason her hand has started shaking. Gail said that Lisa is very worried about all of this starting again. Lisa is feeling very weak again, it is such an up and down roller coaster ride for her. They appreciate all your prayers and are very thankful for all of you who have cared so much.

Greetings , Lisa woke up this morning with a HUGE smile on her face at first I did not think this was my child ( since I have not seen a smile for a couple of weeks ) it is still on her face as I am writing this tonight she told me this morning that she feels great and was ready for the next round of chemo which will start around 7 tonight . Lisa is still a little weak but I am so thrilled to see her beautiful smile again. Gail 8/26/09

08/27/09 Lisa had chemo last night. She has not been too sick yet, but the smile on her face has faded. Rest well Lisa, there is an end to all this in sight.

They received some answers about why Lisa has been so weak. Yesterday the doctors told them that Lisa has some fluid in her left lung. She just finished chemo and the doctors say it will be very hard for her to pass all the levels that she needs to pass to be able to go home. They also say that they will probably skip the next sched. chemo because that would be too hard on her body. Please pray that infection will not set in, and that Lisa will have the strength to get up and start moving around so her lung can heal.

Lisa was able to start chemo. on Wed., although she was still very weak. The doctors have told them that she will have surgery on her other lung on Sept.17th, and her last session of chemo. will be Oct. 1st. Yeah, light at the end of the tunnel! You can do it Lisa!

Lisa is home now for a few days. Although she started feeling a little better she was not well enough to start chemo so the doctors sent them home. Her white blood cell count is still very low and she is feeling weak. The plan is to start chemo again this Wed. but that is still all up in the air depending on her blood count. While she was so sick and running a fever they ran a bunch of tests on Lisa, all of them came back normal. I guess that means that there was not something abnormal going on to make her sick, she was just sick from other things. That was a big relief. So for now Lisa is resting at home.
