Todays visit proved somewhat reassuring and promising. We spoke to Dr. Del Toro. He says that her white blood cells are lower, 9000 in fact. This is good. It means that her bodies defensive team are less in numbers and that would mean her infections could be subsiding. She is being weaned off of the antibiotics so that her immune system can develop its own defenses. She is also suffering from a major yeast infection. It is causing her to itch tremendously. Towards the end of our visit she started to respond to us more. She still mutters incoherent speech. But, she seems to be in less pain. She has a 72 hour pain patch. Its still not the best time to visit. We will let you know when that time will be. Special birthday wishes and love to Aunt Elise. Thanks for your love, support, and time.
