Mom (Alice, Grandma, Aunt) is in a serous situation at this time. Since the last update from Ruth on Thursday, our courageous mother has tried to overcome a series of infections. On Friday, when I saw her, she looked better and "out of the woods." Mark thought the same thing when he saw her on Saturday.
However, yesterday, Mom was extremely lethargic and experiencing the chills. Not able to get to her computer, I read to her some of your emails. I think that encouraged her a bit. Let's see, I read emails from Tom's family (Abby, Zach, Sam, Jen, and Tom), the Blatts, Aunt Ethel, and showed her Naomi's birthday picture. When I left her last night, her temperature was brought down from 102 to 100. She remained very, very weak.
I talked with the UC staff this morning and they said that early morning Mom needed to be moved into ICU because of low blood pressure. White cell blood count is still dangerously low. Doctors today will remove one of her mediports because they think it might be a contributing source to her infection. They will also monitor her very closely.
So, like Ru was saying in the last post, please continue your prayers for Mom during this critical time.
