We are definitely leaving the ICU this morning and going to a regular hospital room down here at Methodist, as Dr. Davies feels she doesn't need critical care. That's encouraging!. Marie's blood pressure is back to normal, and she can actually move her left leg. Kidney numbers are improving, though this doc says that he wouldn't expect much big change and is not worried about it. As we suspected during her hospital stay in Boston, there seems to be a kidney infection that just won't let go, but we'll wait until the clots resolve a bit more before taking that on -- meanwhile, they keep giving her powerful antibiotics and blood thinner.



Marie's goal is to get back to her boys at New Caney (she teaches all same-sex language arts classes -- she calls them her manly men) as soon as possible. She has big plans for them!

Your prayers make all the difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  1. Hello Tom and Marie,
    Out of ICU...that is awesome. The Lord answers prayers. Once again, this will make a great journal entry. Marie, you are probably good on journal entries for all of this coming year. Take care.
    Blessings, Tamara
