8/9 Move home is delayed

Hi all,

Looks like the early report on going home Sunday was a bit premature. We got some news from the doctor today that they are not happy with the Liver counts in the latest blood tests. This is not a cause for serious concern at this point, but they are going to keep her for some more tests on Monday. We do not know the details yet of that test, but should know more tomorrow. Her nausea has also become a little more difficult as they find the right mix of solid food, medicine and care. So overall a long day for mom, but she continues to push through it all with the same positive attitude. We hope for some rest for her tonight, and a better day tomorrow. The doctor still refers to her as his "model Whipple Patient", so we are glad for his assessment for how she is doing. So the "roller-coaster ride" continues, and we will update you all as we know more tomorrow. In the meantime, thanks for your continued kind thoughts and prayers!

Love,
Marc

Hi Diane-
Kurt and I are really sorry to hear that you weren't able to go home early. We know that roller coaster ride all too well and as difficult as the ride is, it will come to an end and you will be home soon. Keep your spirits high and be well.
Thinking of you,
Evey and Kurt

Diane, it was wonderful seeing you looking so good today. I know that you are having good days and bad days but the good days will be outnumbering the bad days shortly. You have a little girl that wants her mommy to get feeling better so she can get that needed retriever attention.

Jeff, great job you are doing taking care of your bride. We know how hard hospital duty is and commend you on your diligence and patience.
