Newest e-mail from my cousin's husband:

Hello. The infection seems to be a little improved. I think I forgot to mention yesterday that they put in a pick line, which replaced the central line through the throat, and now goes through the arm to the heart and is more permanent with less chance of infection. They will do a bone marrow biopsy maybe tomorrow in her ICU room. As soon as it is safe and all results are in, they will start chemo therapy, again maybe still in her ICU room (at least the beginning stages). All of this while she is still on the respirator. They do not want to wait too long taking care of the lymphoma. The chemo will make her weaker before it starts to cure her. Thank you for all your continued prayers and good thoughts.
