    Hopefully Sue will be able to make it across the chasm.

    A quick update.


    Sue's white blood cell count is down to mid 20's and the CRP level has dropped to 200 it was 350 2 days ago which is a severe infection, 50 to 200 is the high end of active inflammation and bacterial infection, they are will not send her home on antibiotics until it is sub 75. So it is going in the right direction, thank goodness. The severe pain she had has subsided quite a bit, bit obviously she still has some.

    So I am hopeful the worst is over for now, and pry she does not relapse.

    Thanks for everyones good wishes, much appreciated.

    Ironic really when you read all these lovely wishes to Sue that it is a "thread drift" of a "what's wrong with AoS" thread. To my mind, it shows exactly what is RIGHT with AoS, and that is the community spirit we have here, and whilst some may be unhappy that the conversation isn't limited to hi-fi, it is a far better place for our virtual friendships and camaraderie. Everything crossed, and prayers and thoughts for Sue and you Adrian.
