Evening, April 22

(e-mail from B. Parady)

It was an up and down day for Sabina. She had a bit of trouble last night and they had to put a cooling blanket on her. The docs are not so concerned with catching the fever so quickly since it tends to come down fast. They are putting her back on antibiotics, but the infection appears trivial and can be treated with ordinary antibiotics.

During the day she was peaceful and not in pain, and we she did fever a bit later she not go into a pained expression. The opiod sedatives are doing their bit. Mostly it was a good day. The care leaves Shelly quite a bit at ease.

A side note. Even though Sabina's case is very difficult and takes a lot of resources, there is much to be gained by the medical profession in learning from her case. Her care and the results will aid others as they face similar circumstances. In a setting like Columbia, Sabina is giving herself even now.

What made the day for Shelly was that there were a steady stream of visitors including a Danville Girl Scout friend. She is looking forward to meeting Dr Mayer who will be on duty for the next couple of weeks. He seems to be very sharp.

My prayers are for Sabina, and for her doctors and nurses for their care and kindness.
