Conny and Betsy are eating room service as I type this, God Bless 'em. Betsy is headed to San Jose tomorrow at 2pm. This stay set the new record for most days ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=36 She exists! It's true. I realized that many of you who have been calling might like to see her beautiful face, smiling in the sun. We managed to unhook her for a while and go outside and ejoy the view of West Charleston. It may have only been a view ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=35 I spoke with Betsy this afternoon and I spoke with Conny. From what I gathered, they are going to hook up a vacuum to Betsy incision and see if they can remove some of the fluid from the tissue. I guess the wound is having trouble sealing as wet tissue, ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=34 Betsy had another small procedure today to remove more fluid from her lungs.

With so much goop removed from her lungs and ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=33 Turns out that today was only a tiny procedure to remove quite a bit of fluid from Betsy's lungs.

They are going to drain some fluid from lungs ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=31 I spoke with Conny and Patti Brown this morning about Betsy's procedure. It turns out the docs are planning on taking a sample of the abscess in her belly to determine which antibiotic will perform best against the infection. It isn't a surgery. It's more of a biopsy. This is ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=30 I spoke with Betsy this afternoon. Apparently, her doctor was concerned about infection and after reviewing a CT scan they did of her abdomen, they decided to schedule her for surgery tomorrow (Saturday) morning. I didn't speak with Dr. Spirtos, but I can assume that they are opening her up ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=29 I spoke with Betsy this afternoon and I guess she has a touch of pneumonia. Really, she just has fluid in her lungs, no fever, no chills...none of that. So, they've started her on the required antibiotics and she is now getting lasix to combat the fluid build up...again. Sadly, ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=28 Thank you to all that have called offering to keep Betsy company in Las Vegas. She has some very caring and amazing friends. I can't really organize a "who is going" and a "who is there list". All I can tell you is what I know. I will leave any decisions ... http://www.thehubbies.com/betsy/?p=27
