Update 1 - Kathi Brandes in the Hospital

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

I just got off the phone with Kathi Brandes and she is doing better.

If you want to call her, the number directly to her room is:

When she was admitted, she had a fever of 104 and a pain in her left

side below the rid cage. Dr. R. put her on antibiotics and ordered a

boat load of tests, which she had today -- MRI, upper GI, x-rays, etc.

It seems like it may be pneumonia and is probably not a leak. She is

responding well to the antibiotics and her fever is down to 99.

She hasn't been allowed to eat all day other than the *vile* stuff she

had to have for those tests, and she said she'd " hurt somebody for some

jello about now! " ROTFLMAO! Kathi is a gem! (Her picture right after

surgery 2-1/2 weeks ago is at: http://www.fourlane.com/mgb/kathib.htm)

Kind regards,
