Late Night Update

Hello Friends and Family,

Whew! What a day! This Lord's Day has been a busy and productive period for Trudy. She has seen four M.D.'s . . . things don't slow down much here at M. D. Anderson Hospital. This infection has some teeth, for sure! While Trudy is feeling better, there are some areas of concern. She has been evaluated and consulted several times today, with the present course of antibiotic treatment still being the consensus choice by the Doc's. She will likely have a couple of further tests to make sure the infection is clearing away and doing no lingering damage.

Trudy has walked about a mile today and her appetite is definitely recovering. Her request for your prayers includes the following: for relief in her right shoulder, that has an inflammation that is very painful; and for some "rash-like" places that are uncomfortable. She is pretty much confined to the immediate section around her room. Further, we pray that the infection will disappear very soon, and that her blood levels will recover sufficiently to both fight the infection and prepare her for round two of the chemo.

Again thanks for your love, concern, and prayers
Robert and Trudy
