Update June 21st Sunday 5:04 PM

Hi folks; Linda is better today. She has more energy. We sat outside for a while and she took a walk. The line in her juglar vein was removed. She does have an infection in a surgical incision that was made in her lower left abdomen. So, she is getting anti-biotics. They packed the site today and will be frequently changing the dressing. She remains on meds to pull fluid from her system but is off intravenous pain meds. She just takes oral pain meds, now. Again, thanks to all, for all the very kind e-mails and comments on the blog. Linda has so many people who care about her. She enjoys the communication when we read the messages to her. Looks like we will be here beyond Monday. We'll see how this infection responds to treatment and how the fluid drains from her system. Happy Fathers' Day to all the fathers out there. John
