Well I am home from visiting Mom in the hospital. She is still in the pediatrics area but was told that she MAY have a bed by later today. Mom has been going stir-crazy in her room, as she can't leave the door to the room open, but she can't close it all the way either. So we talked to her nurse and asked if Mom was allowed to go for a walk as long as she had a mask on. The nurse wasn't too sure so she went to find out and then came back with a HEAVY-DUTY mask for Mom to wear. So on went the mask and we took a walk up to the cafeteria to see if they had anything interesting up there, not much was up there but that's OK, Mom just needed to get out of her room and walk a little bit.


Here is a picture of Mom in her mask-Brian suggested that Mom draw a happy face on it, I suggested lips :)


Chantal-you had asked what the normal range for the blood counts are, to which I can say I have no idea. I can get Mom to ask and find out though when she see the Dr later today.

Hey Roni - Hope you are getting better.
Thanks Meg for the update. She looked so good on Friday night while we were all bowling! that was so much fun...and you were not the one feeling well.
Hope you are doing better. Let us know if we can help okay?
Take care of yourself too kiddo...and give your mom a big hug from me.

hmmm I think a big toothy smile (with a few missing) would be appropriate on the mask. keep up the fight Roni!
