The future is unknown for now.I took her to the ER to get her pic line bandages and connectors changed today.The girls and I sat in the waiting room
for an hour and half, then to Quest for a blood draw.Long day.The South Coast farm delivered not one, but two boxes of wonderful fruit and vegis to me
today, one for the girls and us, the other for Juanita and Dad.
I am very tired, but truckin on.Juanitas' sister is in (I hope) the hospital getting a DNC , as she has been hemmoraging for a month or so. That would
be the sis Maalaea, that has been battling breat cancer.Geez, does it just keep getting worse?A Mothers worse nightmare.To answer Loris' Q, Dad is
here in his home, Juanita is staying there, I have her girls.Dada has a caregiver.Ty will be here tomorrow.I will update when I can.

Yes Sally, I agree, what you describe is certainly A Mother's worse nightmare. I cannot imagine how frighting and frustrating this must be.
I know that having your granddaughters with you can in no way make up for the pain of watching your daughter's suffer, but I do hope somehow they
give you comfort and you do them, I hope some good comes of all of this, a bonding with them.
What else can I say, I am sorry and will continue to pray.

Thank you goldhuntress.Sara, having the girls here with me has indeed "softened" the intensity of all of ours' situation.They are full of energy, yet
soft and sweet also.Don't get me wrong, I have to be referee alot!They are spending the night with Juanita tonite at Dads.I hope it all goes well.She
has been getting stronger every day since she has been "out".My other daughter, maalaea, went to the ER and they told her that because she has cancer
they could not help her.So now she has to see a gyno and be referred, I guess.She is hemmoraging for C sake!!As good as our health care is here, it is
also really messed up.AND, it is the weekend.....heard that one not too long ago...So for now, I don't know whats going to happen with the girls, or
how Mijas health issues are going to be met.(both of them)I just try to be positive and thankful they are alive.

the fruit, spinach, brocolli, etc., and I have to tell you, I feel better!!The little girls love their "shakes" in the morning with fruit and honey
and mexican cinammon.Thank you so much.Rebecca is so sweet! And Summer lives across the street from my brother and they are good friends!!Small
world.Yours and Rebeccas' caring and contribution has made a difference in our lives during this difficult time.Abrazos, Sally

Sounds like Y'all are settled in for the long haul. I am sure the next six months will be no walk thru the daisies, but still, Juanita is a strong
Spirit and a brave soul, and well, what can one say, one day at a time and by next Spring hopefully, she will be well and heading home to Baja and her
family, who I know are going to miss her terribly. Wishing your whole family the best of luck. Thanks for the up date. It is good to know that things
are going "o.k", I mean 6 months of kimo can't be something to look forward to doing, but it is a hopeful note, so I too will take this as good news.

Here is the latest.She will be going thru chemo and a bone marrow transplant(her little sisters) and much more at UCI med center for the next six
months.Her family and my Dad will be going back to Baja(which I am not too thrilled about, Dad, that is).Then she has a whole year to be at Cedar
Sinai in LA going every day.I have NO idea how this can work.She has no income, and everything is so way up in the air .Her little sis is going to
create a foundation for her with charity events and what else is needed to try to raise some money to help support her during this long haul.It is so
overwhelming for us all.She has a 50/50 chance of surviving the bone marrow transplant and it is a very scary picture.I will give an update when I
can, as I know many of you care ...abrazos, Sally

Thanks Mateo.I will .It is soo daunting right now, not knowing what can be done, where will she be staying/living for that year in LA.Her girls will
be in Cabo with their Dad and MY Dad.Somehow I think this whole scenario has to change.I have my work cut out for me to make the right decisions for
Dad.Then I can start working on the cause /foundation to help Juanita.Any and all input is very welcome!!
