Not much to report

Adrienne had a great day yesterday. Today, she's feeling a bit more short of breath but her numbers look good. I trust how she feels more so we're keeping a very close eye on her. I was planning to go home for awhile to work this afternoon but have decided to stay after all.

It's amazing how the numbers in ICU run your life and your mood. The doc this morning mentioned watching her day by day, then he said hour by hour. Sometimes it seems like minute by minute. She just started to get cold, which usually means another fever is coming. I'll try to keep you posted. Again, thank you to everyone for your calls, comments, and emails.

Hello,

I heard about Adrienne on the facebook group for hodgkins. My sister had an auto transplant last year, which failed, and in Jan. 2009 developed pneumonia. We went through what you guys are going through now. She was life-flighted to a major hospital and was on life support for five days. The doctors told us that she was going to die. And now she is fine. The steroids and antibiotics did the job. She is being treated for the Hodgkins in Houston and it is improving. lurveydurvey@hotmail.com

Alison,

I am sending you positive thoughts - Adrienne is a fighter and is amazing. Keep up the fight and laugh as much as you can. Please tell Adrienne I am thinking of her.
