Alicia made it here safely. She is doing ok. She has a bacterial infection and obstruction in her colon. The doctor here says Wichita was trying to do the protocol for a normal patient, Which would be immediate surgery, a colostomy. This would not be the normal treatment for a FA patient. She has a life threatening infection. She is in danger and this must be taken care of carefully.
However, she is still acting very wild, just like her normal self. She is mad, because she is hungry and can not eat. (She has threatened the staff she is going to call Dr. Davies! It was very funny!) They have been told for about 3 weeks.
They are still running tests and Michelle or I will update again as soon as we can.
Thanks and keep praying

She was born with a very rare & aggressive disease, called Fanconi anemia, which causes bone marrow failure, as well as different cancers . She is currently undergoing a bone marrow transplant to try to cure her bone marrow issues. If you'd like to gain a little more background, please visit our first entry HERE.
