Bits

Dear Family and Friends,

Molly had some ups and downs this weekend, as expected on this course. Overall though, she says she feels better than the days before. We will take this bit and we will continue to match the momentum that she can give. We are letting her lead this and we continue to encourage and embrace her enthusiasm for life!

Yesterday, Molly decided that she was going to keep up the hard fight and push herself. She did.... FOUR flights of stairs! (up and down) total, in two sets. Yes, she was winded, but her O2 level was 97 with the cannula.

Molly's counts for today:
Liver numbers are all trending DOWN. We are really hoping this continues. We did increase her NAC intake to twice a day. This helps the liver process the toxins more efficiently.

WBC count is up to 7.2 with blasts at 83% and absolute blast count at 6.0 K/uL. Very few neutrophils, only 2%. We are hoping and praying that these cells are off fighting the infection. 

We have a meeting with the Doctors this afternoon to discuss the path to CAR-T. Please send us positive energy that we can all be on the same page for and with Molly.

Peace and Love,
Emilie

Molly Jean Salsitz July 14, 2006 - June 13, 2022 In February 2022 we all came together to honor and celebrate Molly at her life party. This will be how we will remember Molly, having been able to hug her and appreciate her wonderful humor and beautiful eyes. So many people would tell her.... "you have really beautiful eyes." She would smile, say thank you and we would wink at each other, because she would get this compliment multiple times per day. Her spirit will live on forever in our hearts. In keeping with Molly's wishes, her body has been delivered to Recompose in Washington State and will be transformed into soil. In about 7-10 weeks, we will receive the soil back in Ann Arbor and will have a private tree planting ceremony in her honor. We would like to thank Mary Ochalek from Ochalek Stark Funeral Services in Milan. Mary has assisted our families with nearly every death that I have been a part of over the past 22 years. She is caring, compassionate, and kind and ...

Dear Family and Friends, Molly has been fighting hard for nearly 10 months and her body is now shutting down. I wanted to get a quick note out so that everyone knows what is happening. We are all home with her trying to make her last days as comfortable as possible. Last night, we got her on a pain pump which allows her to be way more in control of the pain meds. Hospice moved her to Dilaudid which will give her more room to go up if she needs it. She is very short on breath, very angry at times and doesn't want everyone to stand around her and cry. Just a couple of nights ago, she had the energy to be with Xander and play a video game - we couldn't believe it and we were so grateful to get this time with her. She has eaten lobster twice this week - she got that gene from Grandpa Howie 💖  Please pray for Molly to pass with peace and love in her heart and no pain in her body. Blessings to you all, Emilie
