Update 8/29/2010 by Paul Bogenrief ("Mr. B")

Dear Friends,

Melissa is now out of the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit and is in a regular room. She still had a bit of fluid in her lungs today so she underwent some X-rays. She is in tremendous spirits ... talking, laughing and joking with her mom and me. Her appetite is returning and she ate a good lunch today. Marlene said that they are expecting Melissa to be discharged within the next day or two ... though you know how it is in hospitals ... they never tell you anything! Melissa is definitely ready to get on with her life by going to college and (hopefully) getting a service dog from Canine Companions for Independence to help her with her daily routines. I promised to help her with getting a service dog to help her. I think it would make a tremendous difference in the quality of her life.

Blessings, all,

Paul "Mr. B" Bogenrief
