Hello. I had typed out a nice update last night on my blackberry to send to Brian to post after responding to an email from Mike, but just as I was clicking send the blackberry disconnected and the message was lost.

Too bad, cause the update last night was more optimistic. They were considering dialysis to help clean up the toxins in her body and keep giving her the chance to surprise us all. Today they are not as optimistic about using the dialysis because her blood pressure isn't holding as well. Her breathing is more laborious.

They gave her steroids over night to help her adrenal glands, but tests show she probably didn't need them. They gave her anxiety and she was restless most of the night and morning. They discontinued them and she is seeming more calmer. She is still fighting though and the doctors are struggling to walk the line between keeping her comfortable and either staying out of her way or enhancing her chances of recovery.

Her chances for recovery are not great. Dr. Griffiths described where we are as walking along a knife edge. Any little breeze, hiccup, etc and we fall off. But she has surprised all of us a number of times, so we continue to make that walk as easy as we can for her. She may not make it to the other side, but we don't want to stop her from trying.
