Evening, May 4

(e-mail from B. Parady)

Sabina had a fever in the morning, which wasrelieved mid day. She is on antibiotics. Sheis having some hydrocephalus, or swellingof the brain, and various measures arecontemplated. She has some sort of minorinfection, perhaps bladder.

She tends to get tired very easily after allthe rehab and so sleeps deeply to compensate.Her wakeful periods seem short.

Shelly really likes the optimistic environment andmood exuded at Helen Hayes, and really enjoys it.

They are planning on doing the skull prosthesisthis Tuesday and shipping her back to Columbia on Monday. Right now given the state of her infections, I would call this iffy at best. My guess is that they will call it off,but then again, I do seem to be wrong thesesorts of things.

I am still planning on going back to the uppereast side on Sunday to pick up anyone whowants to spend the afternoon.

At this time, prayer is for her hydrocephalus andthat it may be relieved, and for her infectionsthat they may be removed, and for her continued strength through what will bea difficult time in the next few weeks.
