They found a single room for Wendy this morning and moved her there. Patients who are susceptable to infections are usually housed in single rooms to cut down on the risks. Handwashing rules still apply, as to the no flowers injunction and the prohibition on sick visitors. Wendy has to wear a mask when she leaves the room for a walk. (Still attached to her IV pump.)
According to the doc (Doctor Wendy Smith) she'll be in over the weekend as they build up her white blood count and stuff her full of antibiotics. She got a load of platelets yesterday and her temperature went up a degree. Not unheard of in the world of blood product transfusion. Her temperature is hovering around the normal mark now.
Lunch today was Cream of Celery soup, two containers of Chocolate instant breakfast, one container of Cranberry juice, one small container of milk and one banana. Lots of liquid.
Wendy is in good spirits, considering the situation, and the staff are friendly.
Harvey
