Update on Jan Zuber
From Holly Zuber Schwartz
Visitors encouraged!!
Mom is at St Lukes Hospital in room 409.
Blood work came back flagged earlier this week and was told to go to ER. She was admitted and they are keeping her to monitor her kidneys and a couple other things. She would LOVE visitors! Praying she goes home Monday, but just depends how she’s doing.
