AML Help Needed

We got the news today that my mother tgransitioned to AML. She has 45% blast in her bone marrow. They will put her in the hospital on Monday and she will start Clorabine since they don't think her heart can take Induction Chemo. I am very concerned because she is bleeding heavily vaginally. The doctor said there was a 30% chance of getting her into remission and IF she was lucky enough to get remission it wouldnt be lasting. She will need to find a marrow donor and have a bone marrow transplant. I feel like I am in an uphill battle here.

Please pray for my mother, Theresa. We need Christmas miracle in New York!
