and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
The fourth session of the “Interim Maintenance TWO” phase was scheduled for today.
However, Ella’s Platelet count today was too low (38,000) to proceed.
So… We will return in four days (Friday, 28 Nov 2014) and try again.
Thank you for your prayers.
God bless you.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us;
Today’s ANC and Platelet counts were 1025 and 108,000 respectively.
High enough for Ella to receive the third of five Chemotherapy sessions she will received during this “Interim Maintenance Phase TWO”.
The next few days she will likely suffer nausea and mouth sores.
Thank you for your prayers.
God bless you.
By Good Friday, Ella’s vital signs were almost back to their normal baseline. Her O2 sats on room air were in the high 90’s. Her lungs were clear and there was not even a trace of blood in her trach secretions.
With her “week one” chemo treatments complete and her vital signs were stable, the doctors agreed Ella should be at home for Easter weekend.
However, before letting Ella depart Kapiolani Medical Center (KMC), the doctors gave Ella one more unit of platelets – just to “top off the tank” better safe than sorry.
Ella was delighted to be home again.
We start each morning with prayers of thanks to God for another day and for all the people who are praying for Ella.
Thank you for your prayers.
