I have just come from the hospital, leaving Tashie snoozing as Laura set up a cot right next to her.
When I arrived at around four thirty this afternoon, Tashie was having chills and fever.
I believe the fever had been 104 this morning; this evening, it was 37.9 - a vast improvement - and she seemed noticeably more comfortable.
Her white count has dropped to 14,000 from 17,000 - another good sign.
Thanks to Sarah Slaughter's wise counsel, we have nevertheless requested an infectious disease consult.
She doesn't have the energy for conversation, but seems to be reassured by our being there with her.
She has no appetite, but obediently downed a good portion of a chocolate Ensure.
She dozed intermittently through a Pete Seeger special, and then we watched some political news.
I thought she was asleep, but not at all . . . at one point she surprised me by asking me to turn the volume up a bit.
Then after that entertainment interlude, she was tired and ready for sleep.
I will keep you all posted.
Thank yo so much for your encouraging notes, your prayers, and your tender thoughts -
Eliza
