Don't know what to add to this afternoon's email, things are much the same as I reported then. They are juggling her meds to arrive at the right mix, she will likely be intubated for a few days yet as she is likely not strong enough to be able to cough properly to clear her lungs. It is a relief that they discovered the CMV in her stomach, they are able to treat it without her needing surgery on her stomach. The Gancyclovir will likely have a good effect in a couple days for her colon. Now she has fluid loss and transfer through the affected spots in her right colon and so it is difficult to maintain her blood volume. They have been giving her some blood products these days to increase blood volume and pressure. Sure hope we will soon see a marked improvement. This afternoon there was a choir in the 4th floor atrium, all from a Chinese Church in town here, about 30 of them, very very beautiful Christmas carrolling, was much appreciated by a crowd gathered there.
Good night, Maynard
