Day 30 - Still in the hospital

From Joe: Mom is still in the hospital, but she was moved out of ICU (yesterday, I think?). I was wrong when I said her white blood cell count was 0.2 - it was 0.02. She was able to get it up to 0.1 yesterday, but it hasn't risen any since. Her blood pressure is also pretty low (around 90/30). She's still has a fever and is pretty dehydrated, but the nurses have adjusted her IVs to address that.

So, she's not getting any worse, but she's also not making the improvements everyone was hoping for. We're meeting with her doctor tomorrow morning to get his thoughts, so I should have more of an update after that.

Again, please continue to keep her in your prayers!

Joe,

Many thanks for keeping us all updated with your mum's progress. I don't know how many times I have told her to take care of herself, LOL. But I do know she is a fighter and will get through this latest little set back too.

Please give her all my love.
All the Hopper's are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lots of love and gentle hugs
