Update

Well I think of all the times I have wished for a little peace and quiet in my life...and this was not one of them, I guess you need to be careful what you wish for!!

It is Thursday morning here at Bangkok National Hospital and my condition continues to improve- so much that I feel way to good to be in the hospital! If it were not for the middle of the night check ups and being a human pin cushion I could almost be fooled that I was relaxing in a lovely hotel. (oh..and the fact they won't let me leave my room and the food and...) anyway I am trying to feel as if I were on a vacation in nice hotel room.

The care I am receiving has been excellent and I have two very good doctors that are being cautious and conservative with my situation. I am hopeful of being released on Saturday and being cleared to continue to travel with a few precautions. In Meghan's words they are waiting until my "blood is like skim milk instead of chocolate milk". That analogy was totally lost on my doctors here but I thought it was cute. In the meantime I will continue to catch up on my Thai soap operas and read the books that Jessica scrounged up at the guesthouse for me.

Kurt and the kids continued with our plan and are in Cambodia now. Today they are visiting the Cambodian Hope Organization School on a Mat program and will deliver the school supplies the kids and families at King's Children's Center were able to provide. They have promised to take lots of pictures for me! They will return to the Bangkok area on Saturday and we will continue from here to South Thailand when I get the green light.

I really appreciate all the prayers, email and well wishes so many of you have sent this direction. There are many more positives then negatives and I feel very blessed to be able to say that!

We know - you really just wanted to be a "lady of leisure" for a few days so you had to come up with a creative story line. Can't wait to hear what the next chapter will be...hee, hee, hee!
