One week out of the hospital and the fever they were so worried about is gone. The Hospice nurse says she sees a lot of improvement in her strength and general health. My Doctor friends think the fever was some how induced in the Hospital and possibly by the cocktails they were giving her. Her palliative care Doctor is thinking the same thing and will come see her at the house this week. She still has plans for her life and wanted to eat out last night ....Pork chops and a double order of green beans and she even ate part of my steak.
Sharon and I see the improvement in the last 7 days.
This all being said she is on hospice care and they have been wonderful with all of us.
A few days ago Duke, John Hopkins and Houston all called and want to see her after January 1 when her insurance changes to Aetna. They all handle more critical care CF patients and the Houston said they would travel here to see her if necessary. We all feel this is is good news with all the bad news we have seen. We are still a long way off from celebrating but if any one can save Elissa Sharon can.

A lot have asked for an address and today is the first time in a week I have been on Pelican......Elissa Hase 5 Arthur Dr Edgecliff Village Texas 76134
