Hi all,

I am so bummed out. I just got a call from Heather's sister at the hospital. It looks like Heather won't be coming home today after all. She woke up this morning with a sharp pain in the right side of her abdomen, approximately where the "J" tube was placed. She has increased swelling in her face. And now her left arm is also swollen! They are going to do some ultrasounds today to try to determine the cause. I'll keep you posted as time permits.
