Marisa update Sunday evening! Good news!

[rrosen]

Hello All!
I just got off the phone with Marisa and she asked that I update everyone. She has been off the oxygen since 10am and her levels have remained at 97%! All her other blood levels are going back towards normal as well. All around she says she is feeling much better, and she sounded great. She will be discharged sometime around lunch tomorrow and hopes to check in to the boards sometime in the afternoon.

I am so happy that she will be back with her girls and DH tomorrow. I know they have all missed her (and she them) so much. Now the only task at hand is giving Hydra her walking papers.

She also said to say Thanks Again, to everyone. The support has meant so much.

Yay Marisa! I know you'll be glad to be home!

That's so good to hear, I'm glad things are looking up. She will feel so much better being able to hug and hold her babes and DH :) I hope things just continue to keep getting better. We're thinking of you Marisa and wishing you lots of good things :)

I just spoke to Marisa and she asked me just to give a quick update.
Marisa wanted to let everyone know that she is kicking ass in the hospital (you know she is feeling better!). She is giving the nurses a hard time, harassing MDs...you know, taking charge the way our girlie does! She sounds awesome and wanted to let you all know that she is convinced all of the prayers and well wishes from these boards have truly helped!

She also wanted to clear up something about her Aunt and the cruise. Marisa said that the cruise was already paid for with others and that if they could have figured out a way financially to remedy the situation, they would have. Her Aunt did not want to leave.

Stay tuned. Girlfriend will be home tomorrow and hopefully back here again very soon!

What fabulous news! I'm so happy to hear she'll be with her dear girls and husband very soon. Now let's hope and pray her mother behaves herself.

I've been thinking about Marisa and her family all day! What a fighter she is!! I'll continue to pray for them!

Woohooo!!!! Let them all have it Marisa!!! This is a wonderful sign that you are almost back to your old self!
Tmmrw you will get to see your babies again!! I am so so ecstatic for you girlie!!

About the aunt... ahh.. what a tough situation to be in for her. I was like 'why is she leaving M and going on a cruise... COME BACK AUNT!!!'... but now I understand.

Now you need to go home and kick some ass there too (you know who I am referencing).. muhahahahaha.

[jec2]

Marisa, I cannot imagine being separated from my newborn. It was probably pretty tough, I imagine. I hope that your reunion with your beautiful little family goes well and everybody can just snuggle up and hold each other tightly :) glad to hear you are feeling better!

[Dcclerk]

Those are the kind of Marisa reports we like to hear. Give 'em heck, girl ;)
