Well, Janet didn’t get out of the hospital on Friday after all. She’s developed an infection in her blood. When I called her on Saturday, I thought that she would be very disappointed that she wasn’t out of the hospital. But, she took it very well.

We actually had a nice long talk on Saturday. Janet is making plans. She’s anxious to hold an event to increase awareness of HPS and she’s anxious to get back to work.
