KitchenWitch, Magglio is on the wall, directly across from her bed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

Everyone, I printed out the well wishes for her to read.

She is fairing well. Her temp was up tonight, but that could have been due to a really warm room. Her hemoglobin is down which will mean a transfusion tomorrow if it still tests low. Her sats are good and she is breathing well. The ng tube will come out tomorrow if she can make it through the night without nausea. She is very weak and they are watching for any possible return of infection. It took over her entire abdomen. She looks so little and wan that it scares me. Tonight James gave her the Christmas present he bought just for her. A new MP3 player. We figured she deserved it. She went to sleep listening to "Motion City Soundtrack", her favorite group.

Thank you everyone and I will hope to reply to PM's tomorrow.

1. I am so glad that Magglio brought a smile to her face (I just read your blog)

I am also glad her health and prognosis is improving. I am in awe of your strength and courage. I will light candles for her, you, and your son tonight.

5. That's wonderful news, Laura.

And I'll pray that she continues to improve. Don't forget to take care of yourself right now, too--make sure you get some rest (as impossible as that may be).

7. My deepest and sincerest thoughts, prayers, positive vibes and healing energy

will remain with her and you all. I'm glad she's showing signs of improvement and I'm glad she knows that so many people around the globe are concerned for her continuing well-being and are thinking of and praying for her. Giving her the MP3 player was a good idea -it helps pass the time when you've got nothing really to do in hospital

Once again, my thoughts, prayers and best wishes to you all:hug:
