A quick update for Mary Scovell. Mary's white blood cell count has now reached the normal range which is great news. There are recurring fevers that are bothersome but the doctors are working very hard to determine exactly why this is happening but overall she seems to be getting better daily. However, she is still very weak physically but her spirit and good humor is working very well. She can raise her arms and give a thumbs up sign. Talking is still very difficult and tires her. So we are asking that for a few more days that you not make phone calls or visits. We would appreciate it because talking really depletes all her energy that she needs for healing. She is absolutely overwhelmed by the affection, love, prayers, thoughts, and cards etc. that have been sent her way. One of her favorite words lately is "wonderful" even though it's a three syllable word and sometimes difficult to get out. But with so much practice it's not only coming out but it is achieving good phrasing and articulation. Those years as a voice teacher are paying off.

You have truly touched all our hearts but most of all Mary Scovell's heart.

Thank you,

Jack & Sue Watson
