Some Good News!

I spent a few hours at the hospital with Melinda today. She had her first full night of sleep last night, which was badly needed. She was also able to get a good nap today. The doctor came in and woke her up from her nap and decided it would be okay for her to move to a "normal" room. She will be moved to a room on the oncology floor as soon as one becomes available, either tonight or tomorrow. She will only be on the oncology floor because those nurses are better able to handle the blood needs, not because they think she has cancer again. Melinda is thrilled to be moving out of the ICU... one step closer to home!

She is still having some trouble breathing because of her lungs, but they're working on getting her up a little more to help with that. Other than that, things are about the same- slowly improving. Still no cause for why all of this is happening, but Melinda is really encouraged to be moving rooms!

Keep praying for a full, speedy recovery!
