Jennifer gives us a smile

Afternoon update,

Jennifer is having OK day, they have her on a new high blood pressure medicine and seems to be working. They still don’t know why it went up but they are running several tests to find out why.

She has came down with an infection in her intestines called C-DIFF. She is not allowed to leave the room and the Doctors and Nurses have to wear a mask and glues so they do not spread the germs They have her on a strong antibiotic and she should be better in 2 to 3 days.

This morning they noticed a red streak going to her central line and it was sore to touch. The Surgeon came in and looked at it and took some cultures. We will find out tomorrow if they will replace it. If so, they will do the surgery on Thursday and put in a pic line in her upper arm.

One more thing, her hair is really started to come out. She has been upset about it and we will probably shave her head tomorrow.

Tough day, but she still gives us a SMILE!!! We love her!!!!!

Thanks and I will update you tomorrow.

Tim and Mary
