Evening, May 9

(e-mail from B. Parady)

Today we got the decision on the surgery: Friday. The docs wanted everything in the area of infection to be clear before embarking. So we are heading toward a Friday operation.

In Sabina's case, her head swelled a bit more and her surgeon, Sander Connell called for fluid to be drained from the spine to reduce the swelling volume. This seemed to help her a bit and she came around to see us, express herself. Nice evening.

Most of the day her vitals were right on, no fevers, just sleepy and tired. On the people side, a lot of visitors today, from the Nutrition/Dietition corps, Ron, Matt, and Erin who arrived for a stay until Sunday.

Shelly and I are now ensconced in the McKeen facility on the 9th floor of Milstein. Pleasant, and more than convenient. I leave on Sunday and Shelly returns to the more spartan facilities then.

Her nursing care is just on top of things. Shelly is playing physical therapist.

All is well and we pray for thanks, and her good care going into Friday.
