A Molly Update:

Melissa called me around 2am to update me. Molly had taken a turn for the worse and needed to be put on life support (breathing machine). They had to give her several medications to keep her calm/sedated and were toying with a paralytic (which would keep her from voluntarily moving). I talked Melissa through all the medical jargin. At that point her white blood cell count had barely budged. It was still in the 481,000 range, which isn't good! This morning I got a text from Melissa that her white count was down to 119,000 (a good improvement). This afternoon I got another text that it was down to 99,000 (even better). She is indeed paralyzed with medication and on a breathing machine still. Melissa did say that Molly's color is back and that her swelling is down. She is on several antibiotics until they figure out what exactly is going on. The good thing is that they have been able to continue with the chemo therapy! Thank you so much for praying for Molly and her parents, Scott and Melissa. They need it and appreciate it so much!!!
