The Treatment Continues...

It's been a slow weekend here at UCSF. Karyn is doing well
considering what she is going through but is still quite tired and
spends most of her time asleep. The Infectious Diseases group has
identified three infection types for which she is being given five
kinds of antibiotics, including some heavy lifters. Because of the
way she is receiving two of these (directly into the infection site)
she will need to remain in the ICU for at least 4 more days, but most-
likely much longer. In 2-3 days we should find out if the infection
is responding to the treatment and whether or not they need to make
any adjustments to what they are doing.

The care in ICU is top notch and she is getting all of her needs met
right now. I happened to show up this morning to the physical
therapist coming in to sit her up and try to help her stiff neck. We
got her to sit and eventually straightened her head out. It's a bunch
of little steps right now, but each one in the right direction is a
good one.

I will update again when we know more, but for now we are settling
down for a bit of a wait.
