MaryAnn Status 4/29

Well we're moving ahead.  Today we continued  to push toget her moved to Lahey Clinic (Burlington, MA (north of Boston), which hopefully will take place tomorrow.  There are bureaucracies that have to be waded through in making things happen, but we see movement.  The MRI confirmed what we have suspected which is that the bone infection is getting worse.  Knowing that she will soon be seeing professionals that lead their field makes us feel better.  That being said we are grateful for the local doctors  - they worked hard and did the best they could and they are totally on board with her going to Lahey.

We did get some good news today that the C-peptide test that she recently had shows that her body is producing lots of insulin, so that once the infection is gone she should be able to be on oral medication or perhaps just on diet.

She continues to be of good cheer and is grateful for the phone calls.

I don't know exactly when we will be going up there.  I will endeavor to get an update out tomorrow.
