Florine had a brain scan today which indicated no change in her condition. She has a bacterial infection that will not be identified until the blood cultures get back. She is presently on some new antibiotics, but the source of the infection hasn't been identified yet.
With brain pressure levels fluctuating, the nurse wanted an environment with no outside stimulation (literally whispering) so Florine's body can focus on healing itself.
She actually asked the head doctor of the Trauma Center to step out of the room because his rather loud voice was causing Florine's heart rate to increase. In return, I gave her freshly picked peaches from my garden. I'm saving the tomatoes as my 'ace in the hole', only to be used in emergency situations.
All for now. My Sweetie Pie is resting now, but will fight the fight again tomorrow.

John,
Thank you so much for the informative update. My family and I pray for Babe through out the day. We really appreciate you setting up this web site as a form of communication. At least it is some link to you during this difficult time. Take care of yourself Uncle John, you are also in our prays.

Uncle John,
When Jeff and I went to France last summer, we went to the city of Lourdes. I have some holy water that was blessed during a very powerful ceremony. Lourdes is a place where people go from all over the world to experience the miracle of healing. I thought that I could send the holy water to you to be used on Babe. I also have a small medallion that could be placed under her pillow. I don't want to over step boundaries, but I really believe in miracles. Let me know if it is okay to mail these things to you.
Love Christel
