Surgery was a success

M-B had surgery this morning to have a Broviac catheter placed. They had originally scheduled this for Saturday, but had put it off because of her breathing difficulties. This morning went really well, no troubles with breathing coming out of anesthesia. The line placement was a success as well. Let's just hope we can keep this one in good working order. She's a little sore still, but was feeling better today despite the surgery than she has in several days. Which tells you a lot about how awful she's been feeling. Otherwise, fevers are almost entirely gone, and the rash is looking like it was indeed bug bites. So, things are looker a lot brighter than they were a few days ago.

    Nick and Ken, thanks for thinking of our Mina Brigitta and writing here. It means a lot to us that she has such caring cousins as you guys, and I'm sure you'll help to cheer her up a lot when you come to visit. Maybe you guys could put together a mini photo album with pictures of you and your friends?

    Love,

    Uncle Arne
