1/17 Update Written 14 hours ago

Sally is going on Iron supplements on top of her prenatal s  apparently 100% daily value isn't enough haha. However she was able to get around today without using a wheelchair up until about 6pm, which is significant progress. Hopefully the iron supplements will get her to a point where a transfusion won't be necessary for her platelet levels to be considered normal. Zoey was scheduled to get a central venus catheter today, however the boy next to her had one done & it took significantly longer than planned so hers got pushed back. Essentially it'll be long term more beneficial for needle pokes, transfusions, & every other listed thing they'll need to do. Massively invasive though which scares the hell out of me. Up through the inner thigh, out through the hip, up through the abdomen into her heart. If that isn't scary as hell I don't know what is. When they described the process I started sobbing a bit, just a little much to imagine for her to go through once again, but, the doc that does these is highly successful with them & very skilled. He has the respect of the nurses, which we've come to know & become very close with. So, tomorrow is going to be a stressed one. Need some extra prayers tomorrow, thanks everyone for the support & well wishes. Zoey, Sally, & myself wouldn't be doing as well as we are without them.
