Thursday Update

Mike here at the controls:
Lisa perked up a bit Wednesday and began eating pretzel rods and Frito Cheddar Cheese Dip. (Hey at that point we'd let her eat the sheets if it meant getting something in her.) She also began drinking more water which was probably the result of eating the salty pretzels.
Lisa was discharged Thursday at about 6PM and I took her to the cottage because Christina, our 11 year old, came down with a temperature of 99.5 on Wednesday and 101.5 on Thursday. I couldn't take Lisa home with a bug in the air. So here we are for the next couple days.
Lisa was sent home with with her port accessed and HomeMed delivered a weeks worth of IV treatments. We'll run these during the night to keep her hydrated.
She's sleeping a lot and mentions more and more that her legs or something is sore. Lisa doesn't complain. It's more of an observation of hers when something hurts. It's an ominous thought that I have at those moments that things aren't going quite as planned.
Next week will be a "scan week" and we'll know how well Lisa is doing on the inside. Barring any bumps along the way we'll be holding our breath until afterward and won't update the blog.
Say a prayer, light a candle, work the beads, whatever you got she needs it now. Thanks for sending any positive thoughts you can spare.

Mike/Linda/Lisa Our prayers are continuous daily at Mass & home and all the friends at church are praying that the miracle will come. The prayers must be helping because M & L have shown such strength in the last weeks God Bless You all! Uncle Gerald & Aunt Delphine
