Doctors are unsure how to treat her, and even have mentioned sending her home and stopping any future blood transfusions. But then decided to move her to intensive care today.
Her test results for the type of leukemia came back invalid or something, and they have to do it again but because of the blood transfusion she had yesterday they don't want to do the test just yet.
Any progress in getting her transferred to the St. Jude affiliate in the Dominican Republic?
If the doctors ultimately determine that a stem-cell transplant is her best option, you might reach out to this organization, which seems like it could help:
