Platelet Update

We thought this morning that a solution had been found for Kathy's platelet situation; a friend and visitor was told by a nurse that they had found the donor and that her body was accepting the platelets. This turned out to be inaccurate information.

From Brian:
"My mom did not receive a matching donor until later in the day today. As of now her body is still rejecting the blood platelets because her immune system is wiped out. What they are doing now is introducing the blood platelets at a very slow rate in hopes that her own immune system will start to take over and start producing it's own platelets. So now we wait to see what happens. The good news is, she is stable, alert and able to visit a little."

Brian spoke with her just a few minutes ago and the head doctors will be meeting tomorrow to come up with a plan. They will also be doing another CT scan tomorrow.
