I guess Rafi just loves the hospital and the people here. There is really no other explanation for the fever that popped up this morning, then immediately went away, earning us two more days here. Of course, she didn’t have a fever since that one spike. I think she is waiting for Lindsay to come back to be the one to discharge us. On top of that, our Aerobed decided that it had enough of the hospital and went into full cardiac arrest last night. So now we are sleeping on the hospital provided cot. I am medicating prior to sleep with Advil and will have three tablets on the table for first thing in the morning.

Jackie left earlier this afternoon to go home and clean all of Rafi’s toys before our eventual departure. After a long nap, Rafi and I spent a nice afternoon together outside on the swings and then back in the room watching movies. She finally fell asleep at 11:30ish, in all fairness we did nap together in the lounger earlier around 9ish watching, you guessed it, Kung Fu Panda. Hopefully she will stay asleep all night with the ambien and dilaudid on board. She has been powering through those and waking up in fits and spurts the past few nights, and then taking ridiculously long naps in the afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed.

I haven’t posted her numbers in a long time, so I might as well now:
WBC = 11.4
ANC = 8.0

Off to do some research about Eosinophils and what they mean. Dr. Troy Lund has been making fun of me and my google habit and I am trying to come up with the reason Rafi’s EOS number is high. It is nothing to be worried about in any way shape or form, but I am a curious sort so I must find an answer. He tells me to stop searching and I keep hitting him new theories. All of them wrong in his eyes. I must find the answer. Until tomorrow…….
