Erin visits her Mom

Margaret's daughter Erin journeyed from Los Angeles over the past weekend to cheer up her mother. She made several visits to the hospital, including one on Sunday when Margaret's own mother accompanied her. Along with the excellent nursing and medical care, the visits by Erin and Carmen seemed to have worked! Margaret is doing much better now. She is off the supplemental oxygen, she is walking around the ward every few hours, she is eating solid food with almost no nausea, no more catheters, no more nourishment via IV, and she just seems so much more like herself. Still has a mild low grade temp (about 100 degrees), had mild anemia so she received one unit of blood, still receiving antibiotics via IV, and had a new PICC installed today. A few medical things to resolve as you can see. But, the doctors started talking about sending her home in a few days, maybe as soon as Friday or Saturday. Yesss!
