Monday MLK Day!!!

Sorry about not posting yesterday, but I am back on it today. Lannette is doing better and better. She is now getting dialysis every other day, although the plasmapheresis is daily. Here is the biggest news of all...ready?........LANNETTE MADE PEE PEE, WOOHOO!!! Although just a teenie-weenie amount, it is an improvement. Her dialysis treatments are much more aggressive so it's a bit harder on her....but she takes them head on. Yesterday she only had the plasmapheresis which was especially good because she was able to see the Seth and Soren. Of course this made her incredibly happy. They laughed and played and cuddled and it did so much to improve Lannette's spirits. Her spirits are almost always good, but even better because of the boys. She wants to again express her thanks for the well wishes, cards, balloons etc.

Lannette also feels badly that we can't tell everyone everything all the time, but the fact of the matter is that we just don't know all of the answers. We still do not know 100% if it is TTP or HUS. We still do not know the onset or which day and hour they will kick her out of here. We are trying hard to keep everyone as up to date as possible with everything we know. We do know this; her labs are impoving. The different levels in her blood are getting better. Some fast some slow. She is having random visits from the PeePee Bandit. All are good signs. We know it's frustrating for people to not know everything all the time. It is frustrating for us, too. At this stage it is all about her body learning to help itself. So we try to spend alot of time being happy and smiling which is another way of saying; keeping her stress level down. Optimism is everywhere. So be positive, concentrate on the improvements and stay tuned. Thank you so much.
