Sam was still having trouble w/fevers during the night, but tylenol and a cooling blanket seemed to help. The bone scan was pretty much inconclusive; they are treating her w/antibiotics as if there's an infection there, but may have to do an MRI to confirm. In a worst-case scenario, surgery might be needed, but nothing's definite yet. They changed her trach yesterday, and all is fine w/that. She will have dialysis again shortly; she's been having it for @2.5 hours daily--the goal is to have her on a regular Mon-Wed-Fri schedule. There is some good news today: she went back to whirlpool, and the plastic surgeon was "very pleased" w/how her skin looks; the new grafts look great, and overall, that end of things is going very well. We are very happy that he will be continuing her care. Sam's resting quietly now, and hopefully that will continue the rest of the day. As always, thanks for your continued prayers.
Jessica
