Evening, April 9

(e-mail from B. Parady)

It was a good day. Sabina had no fever during the day, but had one last night but only 101. The septicemia seems to be abating under the pressure of the antibiotics. She was alert, showed expression. Later in the evening she grimaced but it turns out it was only a tummy ache and not the onset of fever or headache.

She talked to Hirschfeld about the bone flap and that hospitals do not generally accept them if transferred. Sabina would need to be clear of the septicemia and free of fever for a week before the bone flap could go back in. Other place use artificial substitutes, which I confess after the infection control record of St Vincents makes me wonder if that is not a bad idea.

So a happy Easter for Sabina. Our prayers for the little daily miracles.
