Update on Lenette

Lenette asked me to give everyone an update as to what has been happening the last few days. Late in the day on Saturday, the 15th, Cody and I took Lenette to the hospital. She had been experiencing some confusion and had a difficult time making her words connect to her thoughts. I spoke with Dr. Adrian a couple of times and the decision was made that she would be best cared for at Ball Memorial Hospital. She was admitted early Sunday morning. They are still not positive as to what brought all this on and are continuing to run tests. She spent one night in PCU (Progressive Care Unit) where she was monitored closely for the night. She was transferred to Oncology on Monday. Dr. Adrian thinks she may have an infection but is still unsure at this time.
Meanwhile, she found out that her long-anticipated appointment to begin the tests at IU Med. for possible transplant surgery, had been scheduled for today and tomorrow. Dr. Adrian was very reluctant to release her, but after much discussion, he let her go. But she only went to Indy for tests today and then had to be back at Ball for more monitoring. She is scheduled to return to Indianapolis on Thursday for tests and then will hopefully complete the final tests next Tuesday.
It is not known at this time as to how long she will remain at Ball. She may go home as early as Wednesday or may stay longer. This all depends on what Dr. Adrian determines was the cause of her disorientation, etc. last week.
I visited with her tonight after she and Cody had returned from their very long day in Indy. She was very tired, but still hopeful as to God's plan for her.
She wanted me to thank all of you for your continued prayers and kind thoughts. She and I talked tonight about the awesome possibility of this procedure. She remains hopeful and determined to beat this cancer.
Please feel free to call her or come see her. She can use all the energy from all of us that she can get!
