I'm going to keep the update short tonight as I'm staying with Hillary and we have a lineup of Thursday night shows we're watching.
It's good to report that today was once again, a good day here. In the morning rounds the Dr's said her Red blood counts and Platelets were at good levels, so she wasn't going to need any tranfusions today. Every few days she has needed some to keep her blood balanced, so most of the day she just had an IV of saline solution to keep fluids going into here body.
Though Hillary's appetite is still lacking, she is trying to eat some at each meal. We went on three walks today - the most since we've been here, and she is doing great - I think she even has a strut going. The Dr's have emphasized how important it is to try and walk and eat. Walking not only gets her out of bed, but gets the body moving to keep her strenght up in her lungs and heart (I think)
She had a few more visitors and that's also keeping her talking, also good for her - she's probably seen enough of a few of us, so she's happy to see new faces here at the hospital.
She had a pretty good night sleep last night, and hopefully another good one tonight.

"that dim light is a bitch, ain't it?!"
hopefully the best show on television, The Office, was one of your coveted shows last night so that you got the reference. ;) so thankful you're having such a good week!
We just want you to know that we are thinking of you all and sending lots of prayers. We are reading the daily blog to Rose so she is being kept informed too.
All our best
Mark, Sheryl and Kayte Donnell (and Rose too).
