Janet had a close call on Saturday

Hello, this is George again,
Janet continued to feel poorly on Saturday morning, but an observant doctor noted it and ordered some tests. This was very fortunate. They detected a blood clot in the unaffected left lung. She is now being treated for this and is recovering. It may have been a close call.
The right lung drainage is slowing. It is 300 ml/day, the lowest yet. If we can get it down to 200 ml/day, then she will be OK.
So we continue to wait.
We had plans, as of early yesterday when she was feeling well, to let her have more visitors, but the setback cancelled any such notions. So let us continue to be patient with the patient.
Janet's birthday is on Monday, one day different than Roxanne's. We cannot have a party since Janet does not have the strength for it. We will keep it simple. My son and daugher and I will come with a family photo album or two and discuss some nice memories.
By the way, Roxanne sent a wonderful poem that she wrote herself. I read it and about 6 other card messages to Janet tonight. She was happy to hear and see them. Even more remarkable was that our friend and colleague Dr. Paulo Franciso Cesar from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil offered to fly up and help. Thanks Paulo, but let's wait! Dr. Susanne Scherrer in Geneva has been monitoring developments closely and I have been communicating with Susanne and her sister in Zurich about treatment options. So Janet has friends around the world who are helping in real time. Janet and I appreciate it a lot.
