Dear Friends and Family,
Gabriele had a different chemotherapy agent infused on November 20th and 27th. Although her negative response was not as severe as the last two times, her platelet count dropped due to the chemotherapy and fell below a critical level. Her physicians felt that she should be admitted to the hospital, which occurred last Monday (a week ago). She was discharged on Friday after receiving a few units of platelets. For the non-medical people, platelets are blood cells that assist in normal clotting; without them, excessive bleeding can occur. Her attitude remains good most of the time. We very much thank you for your concerns, prayers, and well-wishes.
Best,
Richard
