Mary Scovell

Dear Friends & Family,

Doctors have discovered that Mary has developed pulmonary edema which is an abnormal amount of fluid in the lungs and body. As a result she is having difficulty breathing. They put her back in the ICU to keep a closer eye on her. They are giving her diuretics to treat the condition and rid her body of the excess fluids. Mary's a tough lady and thanks to the love, prayers, and good thoughts that all of you have sent her way, she feels well armed for this bit of a set back. So keep 'em coming!

Nurses say that she needs all the rest she can get so we are asking you to hold your visits and calls to Froedtert until she's feeling better. Besides if you call the number that I gave you yesterday you'll probably have to introduce yourself to whoever is now occupying yesterday's room and explain that you are not trying to sell something or run for office.

We'll keep you posted on this blog or please call us at 262-781-2075 if you need to.

Jack & Sue Watson

Is the pulmonary edema caused by the chemo or insulin? I read that pulmonary edema often has to do with something amiss in the heart. I also read that narcotics and other drugs with toxic properties can cause this sort of thing. Can you provide any more specifics?

Mary, if you get to read this, know that I think of you all the time, and am sending you good "vibes" with every practice/concert.
