FRIDAY MORNING SPECIAL (7:45 am)

Greetings:

Just wanted to let you know the latest. Dr. Lee has told us that Marty has ARDS in her lungs. That is Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome. He said that this is an inflammatory response of the lungs to "something," ie. drugs, fungus, virus, bacteria any one or combination of them. It will be treated with antibiotics, steroids, and a lung specialist is to be called in. He is hopeful and feels that there is a reasonable chance to reverse it. However, it may take a trip to ICU.

He is also planning to come in this afternoon and do a bone marrow biopsy to see where all of that is. Her numbers today showed another increase in WBC to 28.8, her HGB. at 8.9, and platelets at 88, with blasts at 2.

God is good - all the time. All the time - God is good. This is all in God's hands, we are praying for His will to be done and that He will be glorified. In all that God does He is gracious and loving and we pray and ask for the ability to not only know and feel His presence, but to know and feel His grace and love. And to God be the glory.

Have a positive day and God bless.

Marty and Jack
