Update

My dad wrote this update for family and friends tonight. I thought I would pass it along to all you amazing prayer warriors

Anjalesa is still fighting a courageous battle. She has been in the ICU for 12 days. She is still in DIC and requiring blood products because of the ongoing consumption of her clotting factors in her blood. With all the volume shifts related to the transfusions (and other factors), she is back on the ventilator and receiving sedative and analgesic medications. Her bone marrow biopsy returned but was not 100% diagnostic for a cause of her ailment. But the presumptive diagnosis is leukemia. Maybe a form of AML. Because of the severity of her illness and the uncertainty of her diagnosis, her doctors have recommended a transfer to a tertiary university center. So it looks like she will be transported to Barnes sometime in the next day or so.

We are hopeful that chemotherapy will result in resolution of the DIC soon, and a remission will follow.

Other than praying for her healing, there is little else that we need.
