Sorry to be so long to update the blog, but I have been out of it the the last two weeks. Unfortunatelty I went down to Duke and they drew blood work but my genetic mutation did not match the clinical trial. So I came back to clinic one day at VCU, I think I was admitted on Tuesday June 8th for fevers and and stuff.and they have kept me here for more standard chemo. I finished a five day course of chemo two days ago, but they cut off the last day because I was having some neurolological issues. So now is the recovery.
I should be in the hospitial another 2-3 weeks while my counts recover. When my white counts get high enough they will will do a biopsy to see where the leukemia counts are at.......hopefully none. That is our prayers.
I have hsve had some complications with pneumoia that they were worried would turn into fungal infection, but that is under control with some new meds ands that seems under control.
All in all I am a little more alert these day. I miss the kids kids but they will be here tomorrow to visit. It is very boring sitting around each day and I have I have little motivation, but I will try to push myself these next few weeks to be pro-active.
Love you all.

Sorry about the multiple comments (don't know how that happened). I guess that means I wish you a slew of miracles :-) Carol
We think about you every day and your courage and fight. Always hoping the best for you.

I'm glad you got the pneumonia licked. That's a relief. So disappointing about the Duke trial. I keep remembering the old saying about when one door closes another opens . . . Keep looking for that new door. You don't know what or where it is yet, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Love, your cousin, Linda
Hi Rachel - we haven't met, but I know your kids! I'm Andrew, Chris and Katie's student pastor at PHCC. They are awesome kids, you're clearly a wonderful mother and example for them. We've been praying for you - praying for strength, grace, and most of all, a miracle from the hand of God! Keep fighting and looking up. Love in Christ, Andrew

Rachel---You are so loved and such a special person to all of us. I continue to pray for continued strength and better health. I wish we could go back to those silly days at Grandma Casey's and stop this cancer from ever getting to you..... Love you, Susie.
You continue to be in my prayers Rachel!

We all love you too, beautiful, pro-active girl like you wouldn't believe, amazing, a m a z i n g, a m a z i n g girl. Thank you for that sweet beautiful smile you shot at us at the hospital yesterday. That was the best. You rock this world. So there it is, you, still making me, feel better, then when I walked into the room. I'll add it to the thousands of times you do that. Holy spirit surround our Rachel. Fill her. Amen.
Hi Rachel,
All of us here at the Salem District VDOT are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. This hardly seems fair after all you've gone through. You have personally inspired me as one of the few female P.E.'s I've met and I appreciate you greatly for that :)
