A Brief Update

Margaret is still in Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Peters.  Sue is still in Lake Regional Hospital in Lake Ozark.  Stephanie and Sabrina tell me the physicians are trying to better balance Margaret's medications.  No word yet on a release date.  Linda, Sue's friend and caregiver was scheduled to spend the week with Sue at the Lake.  She went there yesterday and is with Sue at the hospital a good deal of the time.  Linda will talk with Sue's doctor this morning, then we'll determine the next step.  Sue is better but still suffering from a severe infection and still on antibiotics intravenously.

On a happier note, Shirley and I took Sue's eleven-year-old grandson Brayden with us to Shirley's family reunion in Arkansas last week.  There are tons of kids, especially toddlers, in Shirley's extended family.  Brayden loves these children, and they love him.  Brayden was good as gold and patient with all the travel by car, the family conversations, and the primitive park conditions (no internet or cell reception).  I'll post a few photos later.
