Considering what Kristina was dealing with a while back, not having an appetite and therefore being kind of tired all the time doesn't seem that bad. In that sense, the news is good.
But not eating and not having energy is kind of a problem -- especially when last week she went through a spell of diarrhea that caused her to lose six pounds in nine days.
In other news, the confusion over the insurance seems to have been settled -- a huge relief -- but the question of how to pay the latest bill remains. Money is an eternal issue in her life, it seems.
Medically, her magnesium levels are back on the rise, and her doctor thinks she might "get her line pulled" within the next couple of weeks. That means removing the thing they put in her chest to accept the IV drip. She'd love to get that removed and not have to do the IV thing anymore!
For a little more information about the stage she's in -- past Day 100 -- check out this page from the National Marrow Donor Program.
And that seems to be it for now. Thanks for checking in. She and I talked about maybe trying to post something every week, even if there isn't much to say. We'll try to do that.
