As most of you know Christi's transplant failed, and we were given very dire news. One of the doctors suggested a new treatment drug, mylotarg. Christi has been given three infusions of this drug which is to target cd33 leukemia cells,the kind Christi has. We are to wait until Wednesday or Thursday of this week to see if the treatment will work. We are again in a wait and see situation.
I am writing this tonight to ask for your prayers that the donor cells will start working under the mylotarg. They will do a DNA
test to see if it is working.
Thank you for your love, your prayers, the many cards and the terrific support that we have received during this time.
We continue to rely on Tom and Estella Lyon's generous offer of their condo. It has given us a haven for much needed rest.
Tonight we would ask that you again contact your prayer chains that they may send prayers to God on Christi's behalf.
With much love,
Melba

I pray that the blasts are still at ZERO, and that the donor cells will start taking over! Christi is so brave and strong and a true inspiration to all of us! Much love and prayers, Debbie and Larry Ellsworth
