[Ohio-Talk] Update on my mom

[Richard Payne]

Dear Sadie,

My prayers for your mother and hopefully things will get better.

I do not think it will be possible to get to your graduation, 		but you can count on our support.

Please continue to keep us updated on how things progress.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Subject: [Ohio-Talk] Update on my mom

Good morning Federation family. It’s been a while since I’ve written to you, but I wanted to give you an update on my mom and her cancer journey. Praise God, we have finished treatment at the James Cancer Center in Columbus. Despite being sore, and the occasional issue with positioning or gas bubbles, she finished treatment successfully. She is very sore and worn out. 

However, things took a turn last night. We were told very clearly that if she spiked a temperature above 100.4°, that she needed to call the care team immediately and report to a local emergency room. This happened last night. She spiked a fever, called the care team, and was instructed to get to the James cancer center emergency room as quickly as possible. at midnight, I got a text that she was being admitted. Her temperature at the hospital was normal, but they wanted to make sure it would stay that way. We are unsure of what caused the temperature. Spike, most likely low white blood cell count, but they want to keep her most likely until tomorrow  to rule out UTIs and any other infections. Prayers are appreciated. 

on a more positive note, I would like to invite those local to Central Pennsylvania to attend my graduation ceremony next Saturday, May 11, at 10 AM at Starry athletic field at Messiah University. I believe it will also be live streamed. I will be in the department of business group.

Blessings,

Sadie M. McFarland
