Well, it seems they came in to check on Kathie even more the second night, so she didn't get much sleep at all. It's a wonder anyone ever gets better in a hospital. Lynette also didn't get much sleep since she was with Kathie last night.
Kathie's fever got up around 102 last night, but was back down to 101 this morning. The nurses told us yesterday that 101 is about the time they start giving medicine to lower the temp, so they were doing that this morning. Don't ask me why they didn't start last night. Kathie was also a little itchy last night, so they gave her a shot for that.
The nurse also told Kathie (repeatedly) that she needed to do her breathing exercises and basically that she's getting up and walking today whether she wants to or not;) You all know how Kathie does not being in charge - it's going to be an interesting week! Walking around and doing her breathing exercises are supposed to help expand her lungs and keep her from getting pnemonia.
Since she didn't sleep much last night, we're again asking that you let Kathie initiate phone calls if she feels up to it. We have read her the notes on the blog and the e-mails you've all sent. Your thoughts and prayers have meant so much to all of us!
