Thinking of Kevin Graham his wife Karina deals with leukemia

Post by _aussieguy55 »

Kevin wrote in Facebook "Our world was turned upside down yesterday when my wife Karina was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia. Today she is at Northside Hospital, having a bone marrow biopsy to determine what kind of cancer it is. She will likely be there for the next 2-5 weeks,"

They have a young family. Karina seems to have been active lady involved in real estate. Folks think of her in your prayers and thoughts.

"Update on the most beautiful person in the world and her illness. Ten minutes ago Dr. Holland informed us that the bone marrow biopsy confirmed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She will be put on prednisone for a week before starting chemo therapy. We will know more in the coming days. In about 6 weeks she will need a second bone marrow biopsy to determine if she is "high risk." If so, she may need a bone marrow transplant. She will be allowed a brief visit to her home in March, but then won't be able to leave her hospital room for many weeks while her immune system is compromised. Doctor said she won't be able to go home fully until about 6-9 months when they're certain it is in full remission. This is turning our world completely upside down."

There is a gofund program for the family

That's why there's a go-fund-me link, DT.

Besides that, knowing that someone cares can indeed help.

It shouldn't be asking too much to show a little grace to the folks who need support and the multitude of ways that folks choose to offer it.

It's possible that Kevin is reading here. It shouldn't make any difference just who is reading this thread or not. It's for well wishes and to publicize the gofundme.
