Hi Karen,

Yes, we are trying to take it one day at a time. Heather is still very weak, but she is much better than last week, so she is making progress.
I think my statement about what the doctor said was misleading. He didn't say her case of cancer was the worst he had seen. He was referring to her recovery being so hard. He did go on to cite a couple cases where the patient had a rough recovery, but now is doing fine. So he was being optimistic. It was obvious, though, that he was surprised to see her in such bad shape.
Thanks again for all the encouragement.

Rosie
