She looks SO GOOD

Dear Family and Friends,

Molly continues, on this auspicious day of 2's, to feel better than the day before. This is a day by day situation for all of us, especially Molly. Every day she is fighting hard to do everything she can to get better. She is making her clinic appointments on time, taking her pills (mostly w/o complaining), going to HBOT daily, meditating, and sleeping well at night. 

7 days ago we were still at the hospital...she in a wheelchair, using a bedside commode. One of Molly's nurses stopped by today at clinic and said "She looks SO GOOD" and "This is mind blowing" - that is pretty much how we feel. We all thought she would be getting worse, not better based on what the doctors told us last week. We will all continue to do what we are doing and will continue to pray for Molly's infection to resolve so that she can go to CAR-T Cell Therapy at NIH.

Today was the first day in months that she did not need to have a platelet transfusion! She is making her own RBC's and didn't need a RBC transfusion (again). She did not need any electrolytes today. She left clinic without receiving any drugs. WOW!

The nurses on 7East are the best!

Her absolute blast count went down to 2.1 from 2.5 yesterday. Her liver numbers are still in a good range compared to last week.

22 is Molly's lucky number, I think she has had a pretty great 2/22/22, all things considered. We hope you all did as well.

Peace and Love,

Emilie

Forever in our hearts

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
