35W Bridge

Just a note that we are all safe after the collapse of the 35W bridge yesterday. We had many calls from relatives since we drive close to it for every doctor appointment. We drive down either Washington Ave or University Ave near each end of the bridge though rarely cross the 35W bridge itself. Just last week, Anna and I drove across as we detoured to stop at the Dinkytown post office. Now have to contend with detours on the Washington Ave side from I-94. Our prayers go out to all the affected families.

I just got back from an appointment where things are going better still. Got some more fluids and they took some more blood cultures to check on the previous infection. I am back on GenGraf since my kidney function has improved and will start a taper on the prednisone next week.

We rejoice that all of you are safe with the recent tragedy! It is a small world medically. Here in Seattle we are so familiar with Fred Hutch and have participated in annual fund raising events for them. I'm so glad they may be able to provide help in dealing with this disease process. You remain in our prayers!
Love, Becky,Emily, and Jenny
