Well, just when we thought that everything was going so well . . .

Tashie has just been admitted to Dominican Hospital with a wound infection. . . .

Rewind to last Friday:

Tashie flew down to Santa Cruz to spend a few weeks with her adored brother, arriving Friday afternoon.

When she left, she was feeling tired, but attributed her lassitude to a tiring one-night power trip to Camp Sherman.

Yesterday was OK, and she was thrilled to be with Lal.

Today she started feeling really yukky, and Laura took her to urgent care at around five or six this evening.

Miracle of miracles, just when she muttered, "If only I could see Tam Holbert" (her doctor from decades ago) in he walked!

So that was reassuring . . . for the moment.

Her wound site was warm and tender, her white count was 17,000, and her temp was climbing.

He admitted her to Dominican, and turned her care over to a Dr. Rhein

I just spoke to Laura, who said that they were starting IV antibiotics, giving her a perocet for pain, and an ambien for sleep.

Since her temp now is 103, her pleas for more blankets fell on deaf ears!

Laura will stay with her until some time after midnight, after which Sara will come.

I will fly down in the morning (I am in Victoria), and keep you all posted.

Get out those prayer flags!

Love, e
