From Kimberly

Mom's fever is down from 100.5 so much better. She ate a full breakfast and is managing her pain well. Her fever was attributed to the blood transfusions and we were told it is common. If she has further problems, they will take her in and put some kind of a filter in a vein in her leg to prevent a clot. So far that is not needed. She will stay here today and tomorrow at this point. She may go home Sunday if she is doing better. Dad is holding up. I am so proud of him. He has a physical reaction to hospitals due to watching his own father suffer in a hospital before he died, but would not leave mom's side. He is so tender and loving with her. She is so grateful to him for his gentle tender love. They are a great team. I am blessed.
Right now, her leg has a bit more swelling so they called the Dr. to advise. Mom seems to be comfortable and has slept today. Please pray for dad as well. He is running on empty. God has been faithful in keeping us in His hand. We know He is comforting and loving us in the midst of all this. Mom like always is worried about everyone else. Please continue to pray for her healing, wisdom for the Dr.'s and that she will respond favorably to the chemotherapy coming up. She is so very precious to us.
We are grateful to you all for your love and support.
Kimberly
