Updates - August 15 , 16 and 17

It was an extended weekend for us in India with :

Aug 15 - Independence day , Varalakshmi Vritham /Karvaa Chauth
Aug 16 - Avani Avittam , Raksha Bandhan
Aug 17 - Gayathri Japam

As mentioned in the previous post, the pain killer medicine was stopped from Thursday. During the weekend, Patti had slight fever - she has recovered now - and loose motions on Sunday (that is also under control now). At times, she experienced shooting pain, and it was painful to see her plight. Her food intake has to improve.

The biggest positives that were observed during this weekend were - her face now looks brighter than before ; and she voluntarily walked and moved around the house (a big improvement - although for very short distances only)...

Raja - Thank you so much for providing these updates. They help us understand what is happening in India. We are happy that Patti is moving around but we continue to be very concerned about her. Please remind Patti that all her life, she has forced and encouraged others to eat and eat and eat, and we agreed to eat, as evidenced by our usually expanding waistlines. Now, we are asking her to eat and given all that we have eaten for her, she should eat for us, too! Love to all, Akila and Patrick
