This is Dennis on Anne's computer. She is back in the hospital (UCSF) as of last night, 7/13, after hitting a temp of 101.5. She had been running an on and off temp about for about a week. 101.5 is an automatic admit and off Nancy and she went to the ER. I met them there around 7:30 last night and after a bit of the usual hospital paper work screw ups she was taken to her room (1473 L).
She was tired. She left the hospital earlier that day after waiting 4 hours for her clinic appointment only drive home in Friday rush hour another 2 hours. Needless to say she was fed up with the whole medical system. Today was a bit better but not that much. She was CT scanned, MRIed, nose scoped, and given the wrong diet. No real source of the fever was apparent. She hit 102.8 on Tylenol at about 4:00. Some time after that the fever started to reduce and she managed to produce some green colored, I guess the only way to put it, snot. We were very relieved as it was a clear clue as to the source of the fever. She's on IV antibotics and hopefully the right ones will clear up the infection quickly, then home and back to life. Before I left, her appetite was back and we had a good dinner of soup and salad her temp was around 100.0 and spirits were much better. I'll keep you posted.
Much love to all,
Dennis
