***NEW UPDATE - 10/16/17***

Morning everyone. I got an update late last night on how our BeansMama is doing. Here's the info from the text: "She's had a fever and some trouble with pneumonia. They had to put the breathing tube back in for a bit, but her liver functions continue to improve and they had her sitting up a bit yesterday. It's touchy, but she's a trooper. They are giving her a lot of antibiotics. I'll let you know more as I know."

I'm hoping to get another update soon, and will let you know. Pneumonia is never fun, especially in the hospital, but I think the fact that her liver functions are improving is a great thing. I was going to start a new thread, but was determined to keep the updates under this "GOOD NEWS" umbrella. My way of adding some positivity to her status. So keep sending your love, prayers and good thoughts. Hopefully our fighting mama will feel them from afar and know we are there with her in spirit, fighting along with her, lending our support.

Love to you all,
Tracy
