I just got of the phone with Mom. I wish I could say she sounds great but the crazy thing is her tongue hurts. She is doing OK but doesn't sound so good. They have identified the bacteria causing the infection in her blood. They were able to start her on an antibiotic that will target the bacteria specifically to help her get better faster. The doctor also ordered an ultrasound of her stomach to make sure everything is OK in there. She has had some problems getting sick to her stomach and with her bowels, but those are common side effects. She will have the bone marrow test later this afternoon. She is making small steps but it is improvement. She does not have an appetite but manages to eat a few bites every now and then. The PT helped her walk around the unit one time this morning so that was good exercise. Please, please continue to pray and check in on my mom. Your love, prayers and support mean so much to all of us.
