...fingers AND toes....

We are still here but if all goes according to the latest plan, Jess will be home and maybe even thrilled about my cooking, for a change!!!!

Jess' heart rate has been (and still is a bit) high. A number of reasons can cause this but since the heart rhythm is good, there should be no major concern. But to be on the safe side, Dr. Tareshawty ordered more fluids (slight dehydration) and an echo cardiogram. Thankfully, what has been interpreted so far, does not show any fluid around the heart although the heart doctor will look at the actual films and make a final report. The lung doctor said that there is some fluid in both lungs but not enough to consider draining. She does now have "thrush" for which another antibiotic has been ordered. Jess has had this a number of times before as it is quite common with low blood counts. She actually knew she had it before the doc's told her.

So that being said, Dr. Tareshawty expects to release her tomorrow, because.....there's no place like home.....
