I haven’t been posting any Raven Updates lately because I haven’t been receiving any. Unfortunately I am only a “step-grandmother.” Since I have chosen to separate from her “blood” grandfather, I am reminded of my place in the “family scheme.” And, furthermore, since there is no chance of “reconciliation” with aforementioned grandfather, I am pushed [...]

From Wednesday… sorry for the delay. My PC is in the shop.
I just spoke with Rose this morning… Raven had been in the hospitall all last week due to fever and some back pain that they were afraid might have been an infection. Apparently she was just having another rough week, as she was sent [...]

This week was a 2-day Chemo treatment for Raven. She wound up having to have a blood transfusion yesterday due to her hemoglobin counts being so low. I told her that she should feel like a whole new person now! They also consulted a nutritionist yesterday, who will be prescribing an appetite stimulant [...]

Raven started her 5 days of chemo this week. Thankfully, her counts were back up, so she did NOT need to have a blood transfusion this time!!! After this [...]

It is time once again to thank all of you for your prayers for Raven, her mom Rose and for Kelli. They wanted me to thank you for all the prayers you have so freely given them in the last weeks while Raven has undergone radical radiation and chemotherapy treatments. I could say the words, [...]

Well, we’ve got 7 more radiation treatments to go. She will still have chemo, though, but I am not sure for how long. Her weight has dropped to 54 lbs. (ideal is 71lbs.); her mouth sores are still hindering food consumption; the pain medicine she was on wasn’t cutting it, so they gave her something [...]

Raven came home Saturday; her fever finally leveled out, and her doctors were satisfied with her counts, etc… So now everything is back to “status quo.” (That’s the closest we can get to “normal” for now…) She’s going to be staying with her dad this week, along with her brother, so that (her mom) can [...]

Raven had 4 days of chemo and 3 days of radiation last week; 5 days of radiation this week. She still seems to be handling it all very well. The main problem she has for now is mouth sores (a side-effect of the radiation).
Christmas was ridiculous, for Raven AND Gage! Thanks to multiple donations, [...]

Raven started radiation this past Monday. She seems to be doing okay so far; they said the first week or two would be okay, but she may start experiencing side-effects after that.
Raven also has to have a shot every day that supposedly is to preserve her taste buds (one of the side-effects of radiation [...]
