100th posting

this is a very special posting

not because it's the one hundredth

but because she called this morning with

lots 'o good news (and was so happy)

she said that she just finished physical therapy

-not for the day, but finished

(they signed her off) -very happy with her progress

also that her kidneys are working much better

and that her lung infection and her rejection

seem to be under control

and that she seems to think that

they may let her outta there by next friday

-next friday

that's so unbelievably great (thank god)


she's such a tough kid and so hopeful

she's gone through so much, fought so hard

and over come so much

yet, there's a long road ahead

but she's traveled so far already

and so far, so good

and now ...a rare infection

today we found out that her doctors

are treating her for a rare lung infection

also that the tube in her stomach

that they can feed her through and

can administer medications into

...is leaking

and that the biopsy of her lung tissue shows

stage one rejection


however

even though that all sounds pretty scary

she seems to think it'll all be taken care of

-they're fixing the tube

giving her meds for the infection

(it's an oral anti-infection drug she breathes)

and they feel they will be able to treat the rejection

she's in good spirits and just wants to get outta there


she just called (doesn't that sound great)

had a GREAT talk, they've fixed her tube

and she's looking forward to her pizza dinner

(doesn't that sound great?)
