The great Update that you all missed:  I was able to stay home through Thanksgiving.  And I did JUST that.  Stayed home and slept about 19 of those hours.  I was poopped! 

I return to the hospital tomorrow.  They will check on my liver numbers and decide whether I stay from there.  I restart treatment for IVIG..

Thinking of you being trapped in the icky place. Hope you get thru this one ok.

I am serious about the Silkies, I have a few that have a few flaws, and would rather give them to you than have to try and sell them to a rookie peep.
You have friends in NY......anyone driving down next month?
Anyway, hang in there, and try not to be too hard on the nurses!

Interesting STOOPID.  I have a friend driving down from Rochester in a week.
