Back to "In-patient" status

Mom stayed in the ER for nearly 30 hours until they finally finished with all of the tests and found an open room. When we arrived that day the hospital was 106% full. She found her way back to the 8th floor in room P821.

Every four days mom will still need platelet transfusions as her platelets are not producing on their own.

Mom is extremely weak and although the doctors tell us she only has several days to spend in the hospital, from experience we might interpret that as at least one week and then go from there.

My family generously let me go to Salt Lake City for the weekend as I had a previously planned committee meeting for the non-profit organization Ski For Light. This weekend has been a good respite for me and I want to thank my family for stepping in during my absence.
