Dr. Fever has left the building

Wohoo 36 hours of no fever! Can you take a number on that one? But the only happy dance is the one in Cathi's stomach. As good as it may feel it comes back to a little overzealous dance every now and then. Food and the stomach dance just do not mix. Good thing for protein shakes. Dr. Aj says more protein shakes, not to be confused with protean shakes...



Today's events included a chest X-Ray and CT scan of the sinuses. With Pneumonia X-Rays are overrated. While the Dr. may hear that things sound better, it always takes several days before the X-Ray would actually show improvements in the lungs. So we are happy to when they say it sounds better and do not hear wheezing or crackles when listening through the scope. CT scans take a gaggle of Dr's to look at it before they can say anything about it, but they are spending their time looking for why the lungs were congested with the brothers. (Pneumonia Brothers that is) Kudos and an extra smile for the traveling attendant, code name #78 (that is what they call them at the hospital - 'traveling attendant #78'). She did a great job did not abandon her post and kept company with the Captain.



Once again Captain Cathi is after definitive answers from the Dr's. And the Dr's. speak in terms of what they see for the current day, and what needs to be focused on for better health. So Cathi and her team are anxious to see how things are developing and looking for counts to start coming up in the next several days.



Back at the ranch, her niece Margaret is in Kansas City for the holiday weekend and is attending to Cathi in the hospital. She is likely telling math jokes and the latest events in the college scene from the university. Not that this is a suggestion, but it would be highly recommended that this might be a good time to add some good jokes to the blog to help Margaret out. Cathi will need some good jokes for valentines day. Hey someone taught Conor some humor to add to the blog...
