Mary Scovell
As of today, Monday, Mary is still in the ICU and the nurse said that she was stable. Her breathing seems to be a little better, her blood pressure normal, but the fevers persist. Her temperature ranges from about 99.8 to 102. They are trying to control it with natural means such as cooling packs rather than drugs. In the interests of finding out what causes the fever the doctors are planning to biopsy her lungs tomorrow. They will be checking for everything that they can possibly think of. As soon as the results are in I will post it on this blog. I would expect that results would not be available until Wednesday or Thursday. Mary did spend the afternoon yesterday watching football. With a loss by Chicago and a win by the Packers stress relief will probably improve her condition by 30 t 40 %. Keep in mind that the very best therapy are your well wishes, cards, prayers, and thoughts. We thank everyone for all that you have done thus far. Hopefully communication will be better soon.

First of all,keep on fighting Mary, you can do it. This is Dan and Jalene, we wanted to thank you for keeping this blog going so we can follow all the progress. I went through this with my brother and it is hard, but I know Mary can do it. We will keep thinking of her and her ongoing fight and I know she will soon be able to give us one of her wonderful hugs and say goodbye to this disease. We think of you daily and are certainly wishing you all the best and the best of luck and sending you all of our strength so you can use it in your battle.

Dear Susie and Jack - I'm not very good at this and the first time I tried,with son Jerry's help, didn't go thru; I will shorten this message... the essence of which is: BIG thanks to you both for doing this, and lots of love and prayers to Mary ! I promise to keep in better touch, now that I know about your blogsite... Fondly, Ellie Q.
