Michael has turned a corner and is beginning to recover from his deadly staph infection. Last Wednesday/Thursday were difficult days as Michael was very, seriously ill. He is still in the hospital. His CMV levels have come down, hence he's going to receive his CMV meds via oral form vs. IV. However, he still needs four more weeks of IV treatment for the staph infection.

Patient Two & Three
On Monday afternoon, my parents were involved in a serious car accident while en route to hospital to visit my brother. They were traveling on the Gardiner Expressway when they were hit on the drivers side by another vehicle which caused them to spin and hit the guard rail. The other driver was charged with careless driving. They were taken by ambulance to the hospital where they were x-rayed and my dad assessed by the transplant team. They are bruised and extremely sore [chest & back - from the seat belt & being tossed about - are among some of the aches and pains being experienced]. Getting up & down and mobility are quite difficult for them at this time. However, given the nature of the accident & state of their car, they are LUCKY to be alive.
