Today seems to be mimicking the weather. Katie woke up from her nightly ambien induced haze to a view of soupy fog and a touch of nausea. Thinking it would help, Katie forced down some oatmeal which only made her gut feel even worse. For the next few hours the fog slowly abated, but just wouldn't go away all together. Around two o'clock she had a slight fever which the staff quickly addressed with antibiotics. It's four o'clock now and the fever is down, cultures are off to the lab and everything is under control. Looking out the window though, the fog is rolling back in and Katie just got another round of Benadryl and prednisone prep for her final round of rabbit food. Looks like it's gonna be pretty foggy here tonight.
On the brighter side, Katie finally got a room of her own last night. It's located on the north side of the floor with a great view spanning from the Golden Gate Bridge to downtown San francisco. We were in the new room five minutes and she was already making plans to replace the faded artwork with a Flight of the Conchords poster, replace her hospital attire with cloths from home and setup a little stereo so she can listen to the Giants games...heh, my girl even knows how to do hospital visits in style.

Hey Katie,
I've been asking Ron about you and am so glad he sent me this url.
Seeing you and Zach play trains made me smile. Just know that I'm sending you good thoughts, prayers and lots of energy.
I'll be checking in to keep up to date and thinking of you often.

Dear Ian and Katie,
Thanks for the latest update. So glad that Katie got a room of her own and you go girl with the decorating. God knows hospitals have the worst decorators.
Talk with you tomorrow. Sleep well.
Much Love,
Mom
