8 p.m… Happy 4th of July!!!!!
Irene’s smile says it all…!!! 
She’s an amazing person, isn’t she!!????!!!??
Zach was her attentive ICU RN for the last 3 dayshifts…
More good news…
This very hour they are preparing Irene to leave ICU and transfer her back to the Oncology Ward on the 11th floor! Her vital signs are stable and she was able to digest chicken broth and a hospital milkshake today without any apparent side effects!! Yay…!!!!! UCSF will continue to advance her diet everyday… we continue to hope that there will be no nausea or other adverse side effects… UCSF wants her off the TPN (IV nutrients) as soon as possible. TPN is hard on the liver (which we know has amyloid) and the longer Irene is on TPN, the greater risk there is for infection.
Irene had dialysis today and also a limited physical therapy session to work those muscles which haven’t been exercised for a long time!!
Tomorrow more dialysis and fluid relief from the edema…
We appreciate everyone’s support in more ways than words can adequately express…
Walking by faith,
Dave
Just to see you Smile Sis.Was the best gift in the world. You are a very special person and don’t ever forget that. We love you All.
Praise God! We are so happy that Irene is improving. She does have a great smile. Exciting things are happening for us too at Z. We moved to new office space last week with more room for directors and secretaries to gear up for production. My Dave will be in touch to give you an update, I’m sure. Thank you for your encouragement and help to us in our journey too. Love, D & B
PRAISE GOD !!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS SUCH A GREAT REPORT.
