Hi everyone:

As I write this, Kathleen is again over at St. Joe's (with Patty), this time for two more units of platelets. When she went this morning to have blood draws to see how her hemoglobin and platelets responded to the transfusions of yesterday, both measures were low, the latter enough to require immediate attention. Her hemoglobin was on the bubble. The hope now is that her body will respond enough to the extra platelets to keep her out of a hospital stay. Not much more to report at this point; we'll keep you posted.

Love,
Brian
