Her numbers continue to fall with one major exception - her temperature. Once her temp hit 100.4 the team went into action. They need to rule out any possible infection. Blood cultures, urine cultures, antibiotic given and a chest x-ray all were done within 1 hour of the elevated temperature. Now we wait for the results.
Today was a very tired day for Terry. She did get 6 laps of the ward accompanied by our son Jim. It is nice to see that moose protecting his Mom.
This is the first Christmas season that Terry hasn't been with her Mom. I have decided that there wasn't a 2009 for us, we are going to go from 2008 right to 2010 and pick it up the way it was in 2008. This cancer thing sucks but she will beat it with the grace of God and all of the prayers being sent on behalf of her getting better. Thanks to all of you for being there for Terry.

Merry Christmas and know that we are thinking of you back here in New York. Grandma was with us tonight for Christmas Eve dinner at mom and dad's with all of our families present. I gave grandma an update of Aunt Terry's progress as of the 12/23 entry. I am sorry to hear that there are some complications arising. We hope that tomorrow is a better day. After all, Christmas is a new beginning and a time for joy and celebration. We will sure hope for another reason to celebrate.
Love, Bill and Leah
