Good news!

By end of day Wednesday, things had really perked up. The antibiotic they gave Mom helped a lot and she was feeling better by the time her head hit the pillow (where it spent a lot of the day anyhow w/ the fever).

Yesterday the doctors came in and reported the most important aspect and that's that the transplant is not being delayed as a result of this visit. She will be in the hospital for a couple of days due to a picc line replacement. They have to wait 24 hours to insert a new one which has meant standard IVs in both arms...mom 'loves' this.

But great to see things are much improved from Tuesday night and Wednesday morning w/ no impacts to the previous 'plan'. Now let's keep hoping that things continue where she will get out soon and start ramping up on the transplant!

How's it going out there? Vermont is wondering. Are you back home again?
We had a couple days of spring and now it's winter again - Walt should be happy he's out of the frozen northeast. I'm still hauling pots of tomatoes in at night.
I hope to see an update on the blog later.
My w.v. is - propell, a real word (with an extra L)! The enten propelled itself to the banun.
hmmm...

I miss the frozen NorthEast. Snow in the winter is a good thing. Cathi is back and still on target to do a transplant, but working through the infection that she is one day 5 of a 10 day treatment.
She is looking fine and feeling good.
