Tonight we received a call from COH that Naomi’s bilirubin levels were elevated again on Tuesday. The level was 1.7. We need this level to be at 1.4 of below by Friday.
We were given the option of putting the transplant off another two weeks. Or, we can drive down there for her Friday admission and have her levels tested to see if they are back down to 1.4 or below.
There are risks either way. If we put off the transplant, we have to continue keeping her from getting ill and that means keeping kids home and hoping Naomi does not get exposed to any illnesses while in and out of outpatient appts and hospitals for transfusions. If we proceed with the transplant with high, or even worse, climbing bilirubin levels, it could pose more significant risks to undergo chemotherapy.
The decision we made is to proceed to COH and hope that her levels are back at 1.4 or below on Friday. It is difficult to know what her bilirubin levels are doing because we have results from 12/26/13 of 1.3. The next results are from 1/7/14 of 1.7. It remains to be seen if the levels are increasing due to an infection, or not.
Our bags and vehicle are packed. We are ready to go. We proceed with hope and prayers. Thank you for your positive thoughts and prayers. Please join us in a flood of prayers!
Pride of Naomi 
Praying for the bilirubin level, and everything involved with the transplant.
Thank you!
Naomi, the Guthrie girls prayed tonight for you at Eucharistic Adoration and will be offering a spiritual bouquet of prayers (Rosaries and Mass) for you that your bilirubin levels will be where they need to be and everything goes smoothly with the transplant. We’re also praying for Malakye for the strength and courage that he needs to be your hero. God bless you!
Thank you Guthrie Family! One slight correction: Micayah is her perfect match. Malakye is still a hero for her though, just because he keeps her laughing. 🙂
The Knights of Columbus council in EVCP are planning a rosary for your family and especially Naomi…..You are in our prayers
Thank you, Deacon Don. Please thank the KoC on our behalf, too.
