Hey friends -
I wanted to share that Amanda (abr79 ) has been updating people on her health over on Instagram. Amanda was so open about what was going on with her health on the Scrapbook forum and I know she wouldn't mind me sharing these updates.
I know so many care for her here, and I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of how she was doing in case they dont follow her over on Instagram.
For a refresher: Amanda was diagnosed with Leukemia back in late fall...and was needing a stem cell transplant. About 6 weeks ago she had her transplant. Her brother was a perfect match! Amanda was doing well, and got to go home. Things were looking up.
About a week ago, Amanda posted an update on Instagram. To avoid any misinformation, I will copy exactly what she posted.

Not sure how to say this... My transplant was a month ago and I had amazing recovery from it.
This past week I had alarming lab results - my white counts increased more than the normal level. After further testing they found that my AML was back.
We met with my doctor today and when the leukemia comes back this soon after transplant, there's not much that can be done. Ultimately, my doctor wants me to focus on quality of life at this point as the prognosis isn't good.
I've been admitted to UNMC through the weekend. We'll be heading back home next week.
I'm still processing everything but I appreciate everyone's support through this.
Love, Amanda

I don't know if Amanda still reads here or not, but I want her to know how much we are praying for her, and sending her peaceful thoughts. So many of us RefuPeas care about her and would want to help support her best we can through this.
EDITED: Friends, it is will tears in my eyes that I have learned that Amanda has passed away on June 8. There is a go fund me page for her family: GO FUND ME PAGE
