DOCTORS AT FROEDTERT HOSPITAL ARE ECSTATIC OVER MARY SCOVELL’S IMPROVEMENT AS SHE COMES OUT OF SEDATION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A WEEK.

Nurses are in tears and giving big hugs to Sue (Jack is left out in the cold) as Mary gets stronger and is able to lift her head, arms, and legs, and is giving a few smiles.

In an exclusive interview Dr. Cornell says that it may be realistic to take her off the ventilator tomorrow if Mary can maintain her own breathing.

Fevers and seizures are gone. The bone marrow biopsy shows no sign of leukemia. In her latest spinal tap there were some unexplained cellular blasts that have to be watched. Mary is still very weak but as soon as she gains enough strength the doctors plan to move her into rehab so that she can eventually become well and strong enough to continue treatments to completely rid herself of leukemia forever. (Don’t forget, it’s a 3 year process)

Tonight’s music in Mary’s room was provided by one of Katy Pfaffl’s CDs.

Everybody just keep pushing for complete recovery.
