Travis,

Thanks for the update. Hopefully the fever isn't anything serious.

Is she back in the burn unit? Will she be allowed visitors? How about flowers? Do you have room # so we can send cards?

My mom wanted me to thank everyone for there support. She is back in the cedar crest location because of her fever. It turns out that fever was caused from blood poisoning the doctors are saying she will be in the hospital for another two weeks. She said she can have visitors again so thats atleast some good news smile she is on floor 6k room 27 if anyone would like to see her.

Oh no! Travis, tell your Mom that moving backward is NOT acceptable! And that I'm sending out all my good energies to her.

If you send a card or ecard or plan to visit...please use this new address:

Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest
Cedar Crest and I-78
P.O. Box 689
Floor 6k Room 27
Allentown, PA 18105-1556

Hope she is feeling better soon. She can have visitors. I am assuming her password is still "ginger".
