Eureka! They found IT!

Sharon with the flowers from Aunt Kay! These are the only flowers she's had during any of the trips to Plano! They were beautiful, Kay! Thanks!

We have great news this morning! The internal medicine doctor came by just after I got to the hospital with what turns out is good news! Not good news as in "there's absolutely nothing wrong!" but good news in that the same mold has been identified in three different cultures they were growing! What makes that so great is that NOW we have a target to shoot at and they can properly treat the real cause. Thank you, Father!

Dr Emerson came in on rounds before I got here, but outlined what he knows at the moment. Plans are to go in to the hip and remove a little more of the installed components to be replaced with the fungicides that can be mixed with the spacer construct. This is rare treatment and research has to be done on the proper mix of "stuff" to get the job done. I think I said something about this in the blog late last night. This turn of events brings us closer to the "Big Fix!" Sharon made the comment this morning that the thing that is keeping her going is that just ahead on the "other side of all this" is the life and mobility that we have known! How's that for a positive, let's this this done attitude?

Thanks for all your expressions of support today. You know who you are and I am in deep gratitude for your love and care.
