Tuesday 4 Nov Mary had an MRI on her brain yesterday and the results were that no changes were perceived and so the general report is inconclusive. A bone marrow biopsy was given today at 9:30. This is to test for any signs of the return of leukemia cells. The final results for this will not be know for a couple of days. Because of progress with the seizures the heavy sedation is being ended. It will take 2-3 days for Mary’s body to rid itself of the sedation medication. Thank you Sadie for coming to visit and making a “Mary CD” with all the songs that you had worked on together, and getting Mary to open one eye.......progress. The neurologist met with Sue today and said that the seizures had been absent for 2 days.......progress. Now that the seizures are under control we hope to be off to bigger and better things.

Nine AM Wednesday 5 November. MARY’S AWAKE AND RESPONSIVE!!!...... progress.

Everyone at the hospital is amazed and ecstatic. The family is amazed and ecstatic and thankful. ......... progress.

The doctors have ordered a liver biopsy to further study the liver enzymes. It is currently being done. Results should be available soon.

Thanks for all your prayers, good thoughts, cards, and acts of kindness as well as those things that passed by me when I zoned out!

Jack & Sue
