	Hi everyone, I just wanted to leave a post about barb. She called me tonight after feeling very ill all week she's back in the hospital. The number to her room is 301 319-8447 if any of you would like to call her she can better tell you whats going on with her. I do know she's on the cardiac ward and is having proplems with her heart so keep Barb in your thoughts and prayers. Kay Back to Top

	Barb had fluid around her heart again - ultra high blood pressure & heart rate. Both blood pressure & heart rate are lower now, and they are changing some of her regular meds in hope of avoiding this happening again. She hopes to be released tomorrow, and sounds pretty hopeful.

	I actually got to go visit with Barb yesterday! She's in good spirits and looks a lot better than I expected. It was great to be able to get together. I was up that way visiting family & kidnapped a car to go see her. Lynnwood, Lupus & Sjogren's Moderator Life is far too important to be taken seriously. - Oscar Wilde, 1882 Back to Top
