From Ken :)

Joy did not get much sleep last night. Since they put her on anti-clotting medicine for her blood clots in her leg and arm, her blood line (the line where the medicine and blood enter her body just below her clavical) began to bleed. They had to re-adjust it 5 times during the night. That's the bad news. The GOOD news, however, is that the Chemotherapy is working BETTER than the doctors had expected. After just 4 days, her white blood cell count was amazingly down to 600. They have put her on continuous platelet transfusions and are also giving her hemoglobin. She actually felt pretty good this afternoon, and spent some time listening to conference. She is very positive, but really misses the twins. I can’t bring them into her room because they have colds. However, they are appearing each day in twin flicks. Noah really started to walk today, and I caught it on film!

Yesterday, all the kids got to visit her. The doctor explaining what Leukemia is to the kids. Thank you doctor! She pulled up pictures of cells to show them. Of course, the kids were more interested in seeing pictures of hearts and brains. Their favorite was a very gross picture of a goat’s heart. Eventually she got back around to explaining about Joy and bone marrow. They and I all learned a lot. :)
