Hi. Heres an update on Robbi, hope I don't leave anything out:

Robbi has been doing very well with her Interferon and ribavirin therapy. Pills everyday plus injection once a week. Leaves her sick for about 2 days afterwards. But her viral load is going down and thats what we want. Treatment is working!

In June Robbi was in hosp for a week (Hopkins) due to her huge abdomen and pain. They started
talking about one thing then changed their minds and then discharged her, having done nothing. Oh well. She feels better now but has a huge abdomen and a really ugly hernia.
Also she had all her hair cut off cos it was falling out (from treatment)., but it looks GREAT short too.

So currently shes enjoying summer w/ her kids, and doing her treatment. She has lost so much weight she looks anorexic. Thanks everybody for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.
Sept 16 is her 1 year mark. Pics to follow....

Valentines Day is Robbi's first day alone with the girls, getting them off to school, etc since her in-laws are gone. I talked to her about 4pm she was doing fine, was a little tired but otherwise ok. She had a stent removed & new one put in last Friday and was fine after that except for a bad backache which persists.

Please remember her in your prayers.

Update 1-24-2011

Robbi is doing much better the past week. She was finally able to start eating and her GI system problems seem to be over. She is still tired during the day and needs to lay down. She is still not driving yet. Her in laws are still there, thank God, for real.
Thanks for remembering Robbi in your prayers-

Poor Robbi still in hospital. Her kidneys haven't started to kick in and make decent urine yet. Shes quite sick of being in there. She told me it was like being in solitary confinement or prison. :( I still got 4-5 months on her I was in June 2001- November 2001. Most of it was in a coma or drugged reeeeeealllly good.)
I haven't been on VH or my other boards due to this fry-gatin' knee. Appreciate you're lookin' out for my little one.
