I spoke with Mike, her husband, today. They took Mary home, but she started running a fever and the surgical spot on her spine started draining like crazy. She was also in pain. So they called 911 and went back to ICU where she'll probably remain for a few days. Seems she's continuing to fight an infection, though the bedsore has healed pretty well.
Mike is obviously exhausted between caring for (feeding, medicating, etc.) their 12 dogs, keeping up their home and being with Mary at the hospital. His company has been wonderful about giving him time away, thank goodness. But I pray this turns around for them soon. The paralysis happened so quickly and has caused problems for so many weeks now.
Healing light and love,
Lisa
