Jan, 
Angela has taken a turn for the worse. 

Angela was doing so well for a while, her counts were good and the BMT appeared
to be engrafting.  However, she has significantly deteriorated last weeek with
significant amounts of diarhea which cannot seem to be controlled or diagnosed
for certain.  The doctors think maybe its GVHD or  a virus ("CMV") and are
treating her with Prendisone for the GVHD and a variety of other things for the
virus.  Angela is sleeping all the time now and appears to be in a semi coma
state.   It appears that she will not survive.this latest complication. 

At least she got the opportunity to try to beat this disease, the odds were
never in her favor, but at least she gave it her best shot......................

Congratulations on your success.  I will tell my Mother that you were asking
about her.

Best wishes for continued healing and long-term health.

Sal Ercolano.
