We had hoped that Shirley would get released on Wednesday, but because Dr. Glavan wanted to make sure her blood levels stayed normal for another day. Hence, Shirley was treated to another near sleepless night at the hospital.
The doctor came by with good news early in the am: blood levels look good and discharge was being processed. So after four days in the hospital we have discovered that a urinary tract infection was likely the cause of her nausea and fever and that some of her meds may have attributed to anemia. The doctors also discovered a mild viral infection (CMV) that is prompting a change in another one of her medications.
Thanks to all for your thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Shirley's next order of business is to catch up on the sleep that it seems impossible to get while hospitalized.
