Well, turns out the abscess has returned in Myra's liver. As Myra told Curt today, its just the "usual medical fiasco".
What was supposed to be a quick trip to St. John's and back today turned into an overnight stay at St. John's. This is due to communication problems at St. John's and is unrelated to Myra. She will have the procedure to insert the drain back into her liver tomorrow and should be back at Bethesda by Saturday night at the latest.
Her INR levels (clotting agent) were high, which required a plasma fusion today.
She will also be meeting with Infectious Disease specialists tomorrow to figure out why this infection returned.
This little field trip to St. John's means that Curt has to go remove all of Myra's belongings from her Bethesda room because the room may or may not be given to another patient.
Myra is in her old room at St. John's and her nurses are happy to see her again. They think Myra should win some sort of award for the most nights stayed.

Just checking in and saying Hi. Hopefully Curt was able to smuggle in some chocolate for Valentines day.
Mom has now been in Arizona for about 2 weeks and is starting to get settled. Her builder will be starting on her extra room soon. She's been checking in with phone calls and Grant gives her the run down of the days activities. She said to say hi to everyone back home and is not missing the subzero temps.
The rest of the Haanpaa's are just working and trying to stay warm and not catch any of the childrens colds and sniffles.
Take care,
Mark..
