This is what Cindy (Wanda's sister) wrote online yesterday from the hospital....
Wanda is doing MUCH better as of this afternoon. Again, the doctors are optimistic that the stint was the source of the infection. She is still on the dialysis machine, which is pulling fluid buildup from her body. However, her kidneys are producing some output, which is a good sign. The doctor hopes to have her off the dialysis machine tomorrow. When that happens, she may be ready for a room on the floor.THANKS to all who have asked and prayed.I will still keep posting as we know more. Wanda is feeling much better...asking for her cell phone!For those of you who have asked, Mother and Daddy are doing okay. Mother has been walking a little more this week and seems to be getting stronger; the wheelchair has helped walking all over UAB's complex!Daddy is weak from his chemo treatments last week (M-F), but is still chugging along. (For those of you who don't know, he has been diagnosed with MDS, which can develop into acute leukemia. He has been taking treatments for 2 months.)Again, please keep the prayers going for the whole family.

Update
This is from Wanda's sister Cindy:
On Monday, Wanda had an endoscopy to check the stint in her bile duct for blockage. There was some debris, so the doctor cleaned it out. This is probably the source of her infection. She is looking and feeling some better. The surgeon that initially accepted Wanda at UAB talked with us last evening, and she stated that Wanda would probably be in SICU at least a few more days. They want to get her off the dialysis before putting her in a regular room on the floor.Keep the prayers going!

Pray for Wanda
I wanted to let everyone know that Wanda needs your prayers. She was airlifted to Birmingham over the weekend. Her kidneys have shut down and she has an infection. Wanda has also lost over 50 pounds. Please pray for Wanda.
