HERE YOU COME AGAIN

Dolly Parton sang, "Here you come again" and I think that is a fitting title to Terry's recurrent theme of hospitalization.  The welcome mats at the hospitals all seems to have Terry's name on them.
Well, the first full day in the hospital has come and gone.  Typical of Terry she is showing signs of rebounding---yet again.  Her chest x-ray is clear (no pneumonia), temperature is down to normal, she isn't as tired as she was the day before and she has some rejuvenated color in her cheeks.  But that might be from the two units of blood she received.
It was a typical hospital day.  Lay in bed, watch TV, listen to the beeping of the monitors and try to control the ever present traffic that is going in/out of the room.  Rest is a secondary by-product in a hospital if you are lucky.
Karen and Nissa flew in from Nashville last night so Terry was filled with anticipation for the entire day.  They didn't get there until 8 PM so could only visit for an hour-but they are good medicine even in a small dosage.
Hopefully today we'll get some news as to the anticipated length of stay, prognosis, etc., etc., etc.
God bless you all.
