Mouth, Liver, and Gelato

7:45 PM

Kind of old news, but Pam's mouth and throat are still extremely painful.  She is still having a low grade fever, and no one is really sure of the source. Even with the pain pump, she is still having a lot of pain.

An infectious disease specialist consulted with Dr. Weinstein today and has changed her antibiotics and ordered some blood cultures. The results from the CT scan of her liver did not indicate anything abnormal, but, there is obviously something going on...

Pam's son and daughter visited today, and her parents visited this evening and took me out to dinner.  (Amazing how many free dinners I am getting out of this whole adventure, by the way.)  After dinner, we bought Pam a small gelato.  It tasted good to her, and she ate a little, but she urped it back up.  I told her that it was a perfectly good gelato and it seemed like a waste.

As for me, I went into work this afternoon and made a guest appearance.  Went to a meeting and was actually paying some attention for about an hour, then excused myself to get back to the hospital.  I am going to start coming into the office a little more regularly and working from home some more as time goes on.

Stay tuned for our next exciting episode....
