Damn.
Julian, if you read this, please let me know if there is anything I can do. I'm in Cincy now but still close enough that I could make a drive no trouble at all. |

Can we sticky this thread too? (Is that the term to put it at the top?)
Can someone post the link at the other place? Someone who's well known that can get it some attention? |

I spoke w/ Julian and he has no objection to this thread or making a post @ CF. He is very appreciative of any and all thoughts, prayers and donations.
Craig, please go ahead with the post @ CF if you don't mind. I would do it, but I have not been a prominent member over there for quite some time. Thank you. |

Sorry to be MIA so long peeps, but life sometimes comes at you 100 mph with intense, yippee ki-yay, mofo! intensity and my family’s certainly experiencing such a moment now.
As you know, Theresa is recovering in the hospital from autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), a group of rare but serious blood disorders. They occur when the body's red blood cells are destroyed more rapidly than they are being produced. The condition is considered idiopathic when its cause is unknown, but in her case, doctors believe it was triggered by Type-A flu she contracted in February. Still, there is no cure for this disorder. Doctors can only treat the symptoms and guard against future occurrences by monitoring closely for bodily antagonists like viral infections. Theresa’s received approximately 10 blood transfusions since her first affliction with this disease back in 2011, including two on Monday and Tuesday of this week. She has also received three chemotherapy treatments in an effort to bring down her white blood cell count and allow her red blood cells to prevail. Think of it as her body experiencing a friendly fire campaign. Your white blood cells (the good guys) fight off infection. But in her case, they turn on the red blood cells (the GOOD, GOOD guys since they carry vital oxygen) while allowing the true enemy (the virus) to destroy unharmed. That’s why common illnesses like a cold, strep throat, pneumonia, flu and respiratory infections most of us recover from routinely are potentially life-threatening to Theresa. It was a long day Wednesday at the hospital. What we thought was going to be Theresa's final scheduled chemo treatment resulted in her being admitted for surgery. Following complaints of chest pain, the doctors ordered a CT scan that determined fluid buildup around her heart and in her lungs (pulmonary edema). She had surgery Thursday to install drain tubes to bleed off the fluid. One tube in her lung and two tubes between the ribs of her sternum to drain fluid collecting around her heart and in her lung. The procedure went very well and she rested comfortably most of the day after getting her pain under control once the anesthetic wore off. She also saw a cardiologist who is investigating why the fluid accumulated in the first place. Right now, doctors are leaning toward a viral offense to her body, possibly pneumonia. Now the fluid has to drain off on its own before the tubes can be removed. This typically takes 3-5 days. A fluid sample was sent to the lab for analysis. Hopefully, we'll know more once her tests come back. Even so, Theresa still has a row in front of her. Doctors believe her spleen should come out to minimize future episodes since It mainly acts as a filter for purifying the blood, removing microbes and worn out or damaged red blood cells. It is also an important organ in the immune system, producing the white blood cells that fight infection and synthesize antibodies. Although the spleen is important for many functions in the body, the spleen is not vital to survival and it is possible to live without a spleen. Without the spleen, other organs in the body (particularly the liver) adapt and increase their ability to fight infection and remove redundant red blood cells. But, the road to recovery will be challenging. Theresa has already been given substantial doses of Rituxan, prednisone, folic acid and iron tablets (which she takes daily for her immune deficiency). There will be frequent blood draws and numbers, numbers, numbers. But I also know Theresa will meet the challenge head-on as she has before, as she always does. She will pray harder. Laugh louder. Sleep longer. Breathe deeper. Focus more on faith and family. Once again, she’ll press on toward the prize of remission. Her doctor defines “remission” as being able to have a hemoglobin count at or above 12.1 for four weeks without steroids. Once her hemoglobin is in that goal, she’ll be able to again put hemolytic anemia behind her. She did it before and I have every confidence in the Good Lord she’ll do it again. Despite arthritis, anemia, skin rashes or whatever else may come, it doesn't matter how much trouble her body gives her. She still has who she is, who God created her to be. And as long as her heart, soul, and mind stay stronger than her temporarily afflicted body, she’ll be okay. And I’ll keep praying. I'll keep fasting. I'll keep hoping. I'll keep loving her. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your prayers and donations. You don’t know what a tremendous blessing they are to us. I love my great, big, dysfunctional Corvette family. Guess I better log off now…I think I got something in my eye. |
