Hanging in There

Andrea is enjoying the new wheelchair and the ability to stand up in it every day. I had to excuse myself as a "student driver" when trying to manuever tight spots at MD Anderson and that way I get to laugh at myself and everyone else can laugh too.
The doctors had Andrea take an MRI of the abodmen this past week hoping to find an infection that is causing her white blood cells to be elevated. They didn't find anything amiss. However, they do know there is an infection somewhere, but no fever, which is frustrating because it is hard to treat. Broad range antibiotics have such a hard affect on the liver and kidneys. Andrea was especially sad to miss one of her best friend's wedding because of this latest pesky problem.
Please pray for this nerve disruption to pass and the infection to be resolved.
We think of you all each day in our prayers.

Hi Andrea,

Would have loved to see you in that new wheelchair "dancing" in the wedding. I know you would have been out there. We missed you. I continue my prayers for you and your complete recovery. And blast that infection.....I hope it goes away very soon.

Love you sweet girl,

Carolyn

Enjoyed seeing your Mom and Dad the other night.
