Mom is not feeling well today. She has been running a pretty high fever, as high as 104 at times, and as she puts it "feels pretty crappy". She has not been able to eat anything due to nausea, and still has little energy. She's getting 2 more units of blood today, and is receiving anti-biotics through her i.v. now. An infectious disease specialist is coming up from Roanoke to treat her. It was this physician who changed her anti-biotics in February during her ICU stay - a major factor in her turnaround. At this point, it appears that she is fighting some kind of infection.
Keep her in your thoughts. She is very sleepy from the anti-nausea medicine, and will be sleeping most of the afternoon.
She is not leaving the hospital today, and they will not even entertain the thought of letting her leave until she breaks her fever.

Beth,
Thinking of you in thoughts and prayers. Keep up the fight.

Dear Beth,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sue and Bill
Beth, I am so sorry that we have "dropped out of sight" as far as you are concerned. No excuse... just various reasons for our busyness.
Even though you haven't heard from us, we have held you constantly in our prayers, and speak of you often. In fact, Dawn has a note on the counter to call you. Now that I find that you are in the hospital we will have to wait until you're home... or visit you at MRH!
Stay strong. Stay proud. Stay Libba-ish!
Wayne & Dawn
