Thank you for the cards. It boosts Lindas spirits. She was stable enough last Thurs. that we thought she would be discharged. It would be only if we stayed in area for a time. Didn't happen. For every step forward, we go back a step & a 1/4. Still in Mayo Hospital.

They brought a heart specialist in & he wants to redo heart catheter to recheck numbers. He is hoping her aortic valve is not as dilated as thought. That would allow them to do liver now & heart later. Pray he is right as her risk factor drops a lot if he is right. We think it will be done tomorrow. Waiting for firm answer.

I moved into Inn at Mayo hoping Linda would be discharged. It has kitchenette, etc. Still hoping.

She is being tube fed as food is hard to keep down & we need to put 2000-2500 cal. a day into her.

She is a very sick girl & with meds (steroids) she can get weepy, but holding up well. Very tough to see her like this.

Love- Bro Ed
