It's "Ick B" (the not horrible kind)

...but the port may still have to come out if it's a source of infection. A staph infection is nothing to monkey around with...it can become very serious very quickly.

Tomorrow Kristie, Peg's oncologist, will weigh in. But nothing will happen surgically until Tuesday at the earliest.

Peg looked better tonight. She has a pint of minty-fresh blood on board via IV and the antibiotics have kept her temps consistently normal.

Hi, Eric and Peg! Thanks for restarting the blog and sending out the "invites" so rejoin.

I'm so sorry to hear about Peg's struggles. Damn those bugs! Don't they know it's not nice to hit a girl when she's down?

Harv and I are sending all the good vibes we can, for Peg's health and for Eric and Zoe as well. (How did that girl get to be so grown up? We loved the pics in your latest mailing.)

I will send Peggy a letter soon. Love, Roberta Richardson

Thanks for the updates Eric. Its good to know what's happening. Peg-stop being a pansy about this--there's plenty of pansies at your front door. --grin-- You're a super-hero! You know I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat, and for as long as you'd want. M&C

Thanks Eric for your information, wisdom,and humor. Please lay a big wet one on both your beautiful women and pass on to Peg that she is always in my thoughts and heart. Thanks also for the newsleter. I cut out the funny faces strip and now have a wonderful bookmark that make me smile many times a day. I'm doing my best to send you and your precious wife all of my good thoughts.
Love you,
Leann

Thanks so much Eric for keeping us all so well informed. Please tell Peggy that she came to me in my dream the other night. She had beautiful long hair. She walked over to me and gave me some words of wisdom followed by her typical off-the-wall joke and loving smile. Tell her that she can come and visit again and again. I miss our laugh until you cry talks. There's no one like you Peggy Sue. LOVE YOU, Claudia Oh yea....Zoe looked like Kokopelli in her picture on the beach. Once again....only Zoe!
