Sandy was again pleased as punch to receive coffee and clear liquids today! However, late this afternoon her temperature rose to 102. Some blood was taken and sent to culture; results ought to be back tomorrow. They started her on an antibiotic for now, until they learn which medicine will best fight whatever is going on. Because this occurred so soon after surgery, it is likely the infection was present before surgery, perhaps leftover from last week's bout with sepsis. Thankfully Sandy (and Rod, her #1 advocate) knows what to watch for this time around, so it did not get as bad as last week.
Coming home will be Thursday or later. Nothing further has been decided about how to proceed from here. Thanks for the continued support.
