Back from the doctor's

[pegkerr]

The doctor tested her for mono (again) and strep (again). Delia wept as we waited for the test results, both because it seemed so unfair to have to produce blood for another test (fortunately it was just a finger stick this time, but it was still traumatic) and because she's just tired of it all. "I want something to come out positive," she moaned. "Then they could give me some medicine and I could get better."

Both tests came back negative (again). He told me to take her to see an infectious disease specialist, because he was out of ideas. I managed to wangle an appointment with one for tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.

Delia's fever is now a little over 100. She is asleep in bed.

If Rob manages to break away from the store as planned, I'll be going into work soon.

Edited to add: She just woke up. 103.0 F.

I'll jump on the bandwagon to send a get well card, if you think it would cheer her up.

Me three. Poor sweetheart. Poor Peg and Rob, too. Poor family. :/

I've posted an address where people can send cards if they like, here. Thanks!
