February 17th

Becky and her mom will be on their way to NIH in the morning for her tests. Becky has had so much pain with these kidney stones. She is finally home and NIH got her scheduled right away to go there. Her CT scan is at 4:15 tomorrow. She will be an inpatient there until at least Sunday.

At least three others from the MPIP are currently at NIH. We make quite a family, all caring for each other! Hoping they all get good reports!

Update on Becky

Sorry, it is me again, Julie. Thought you all might want an update. Better from Becky, but I am all you have at the moment!

I continue to check Becky's website daily myself and finally wrote to her mom and got an update. She asked me to post on the MPIP, but thought I would put this one here.

Last Sunday Becky started having some extreme abdominal pain, turned out she has some kidney stones. Those can be so painful. Anyway she was admitted to the hospital last Tuesday and they have changed the stents and zapped the kidney stones. She is currently not having pain in her kidneys but is on an antibiotic because of the stent and this is making her nauseous, so she is still in the hospital at the time being.

She was suppose to go back to NIH two weeks ago for scans, but that coincided with the big snowstorm and Becky didn't feel up to sitting in airports with her reduced immune system. This past week she was in the hospital and couldn't go. NIH is anxious for her to get back for scans to see how things are doing. We are all anxious to hear some good news from Becky!
