“That smile is back.... “
“Today a rest pattern resumed.... “

Friends and Family,

That smile is back..... Overall a better day for Mary. Good test results came back from the Gastroenterologists... She is not allergic to wheat (no celiac disease as previously thought) and also no further concern about the possibility of Barrettes Syndrome in her throat or belly. She was able to rid herself from the hagioscope today (no more tube down the throat). She is drinking liquids today and hopefully will start eating soft foods Sunday or Monday.

This morning Mary asked me for water two times, 10 minutes apart. The second time she asked for it I could not remember where I left it... when Mary pointed and reminded me where I put it. That's when I knew she was getting better.

According to her doctors we could be at Evergreen anywhere from another 2-5 days, depending on her healing process. Today a rest pattern resumed... sleeps for 1-2 hours and is awake and visiting with friends for 1-2 hours. Although her heart rate is still twice as fast as it normally is (100-110 beats per minute) it is better.

Shannon, Caleb, Bobbie and Pat thank you for having Cole down south spend his time with his "brother" Riley who is really (his favorite 1st cousins once removed). We both miss him and look forward to seeing him together soon.

Everyone enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Jeff
