Day +9: rough day

Mina Brigitta had a miserable day. High fever all day long, throwing up every two hours, despite receiving Tylenol and Benedryl all day long. Everyone's hoping the drugs she's on will kick in and she'll begin to feel better tomorrow. They did X-ray her lungs today just in case and they looked fine, so whatever's attacking her isn't there. Probably it's in the gut, because she's more nauseous than she's ever been, even when she had the RSV. Aside from that, she has a pretty bad skin rash. She seems to be reacting to the vancomycin, even though she's had it lots of times in the past with no reaction. Such a quick change -- just Friday she was running around all over the place.

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! It was nice to have my Mom here, though I pretty much only saw her in passing when we changed shifts at the hospital. It was her first Mother's Day since Grandma's passing. Keri and I celebrated the occasion by working for three hours in the apartment, then going to dinner at the local sushi restaurant. It was a nice dinner, and very nice to get out and spend time just with each other, but it was hard to muster too much enthusiasm.
