Good Morning,

Yesterday Melissa had an appointment at the Cardiologists office. She is doing pretty good. Her B/P was 80/50, Potassium was 3.5 (a little low) her O2 Sat was 94%. Her test that was done on her overnight O2 sat had good results with the Oxygen. She is getting used to the Rivatio, (less headaches). She is carrying a bit of fluid on her, but not enough to do a pericentisis. This is wonderful, she has not been tapped since August.
About Pittsburgh, there has been a bit of a Insurance sna-foo. Seems Pittsburgh is out of network so we are now looking at the only hospital that does Heart/Liver in the Banner network. It is the University of Southern California. The Doctors are going to investigate this week. If they accept her we will go there for an interview, if not we are going to Pittsburgh. So, we are still in a holding pattern. Please keep writing to Melissa, it is daunting to be in this see-saw state. Your messages and prayers are a constant uplift for her.

Terri
