Monday it is...

Greta does have an infection known as H Flu. It's something we're usually vaccinated for as kids, but because Greta's vaccinations were suspended, she's not immune. It is being treated with antibiotics and the ENT felt he had removed most of it during her surgery Monday so we have the go ahead to start her transplant this Monday.

We'll go in on Monday afternoon and she'll start her chemo on Tuesday. She'll receive the chemo for 6 days and then she'll get two days off and then they will infuse her stem cells on the following Wednesday. We are anxious to get this part of the treatment going!

Many people have asked what they can do to help out during this LONG part of Greta's treatment. We are so appreciative of that, we're just not sure right now what we'll need. When we do know, we'll be sure to ask.

Thanks so much,
The Betz Family
