Joy was given hemoglobin today and is feeling better because of it. But, she's tired because she's been poked and proded all day. Luckily, she now has a bloodline from her collarbone. What this means in normal terms is: no more poking and proding!
Ken has received more info on exactly what type of AML Joy has. As of now, her doctors believe she has AML M4. This means that the white blood cells morph at stage 4 in their production. The prognosis for this type of AML is average for all AML. For more information on AML, click here: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
More about her prognosis will be determined on Friday when the results of a cytogenic test will come in. This will determine more about her specific case of AML M4 and what should be done after chemotherapy.
Right now she's being treated aggressively with Chemotherapy. She is being given two drugs, one for three days and one for seven days. She will not be feeling well at the end of the seven days. At the end of the seven days they will retest her to see if the cancer is in remission or not.
As for VISITORS, she is very weak and can only see visitors for 10-15 minutes at a time. Please be respectful of this. Also, because she does not have an immune system right now, she CANNOT be exposed to anyone at all sick and no children.
Ken is again grateful for all of the love and support he has received!

Hello Woolley family,
I think you remember me faintly, Dan Rips sister. I just wanted to tell you that we are thinking about you and you are in our prayers. I believe Heavenly Father answers prayers and that he will help you through this trial. Be strong!!
