Skinny Legs

Just for a follow up on yesterdays post..

Michelle is off the ventilator tube
:)
The doctor showed Michelle's family that, despite all the set-backs,
 her AFP levels are continuing to drop.
Today they have dropped just above 100,
which tells us that the chemo is doing a fabulous job of killing the cancer.
Michelle is still a bit groggy but the fluid retention is decreasing.
Her mom told me her color is starting to look very good again,
so i imagine she is starting to look a bit like sleeping beauty in her hospital bed.

Thankfully, the intense back pain she has been having is gone as a result of the doctor removing addition tumor from her lower back area.
He let her know that she will soon have her "skinny legs" back.
I know Michelle, and sick or not, that made her very happy
