Friday 11/27/09 Update from @P337 and Timna

Timna Update Friday 11/27/2009 10:15-ish am Eastern No hymn this morning. Still have an underlying joy but any hymn this morning would be in a minor key. "Man of sorrows"? (Nice that that hymn ends in joyous exaltation. Don't believe me? Google 'man of sorrows lyrics'.) Timna's fever came back yesterday evening with a vengeance. She's had the cooling blanket on all night yet her temperature is still up at 39.6c 103.3f. I passed Dr. Gordon (Infectious care) in the corridor but he hasn't been to see her yet. Timna pulled at her trach tube again, according to the respiratory specialist. They reinserted it before I arrived this morning. When I saw the nurse I asked her to restrain her again since her arm tried to pull at it again while I was sitting there. (I don't know why the restraints were removed. The trach tube being pulled and reinserted must aggravate her as well as being dangerous.) Pray that Timna's fever goes away along with the cause of it.
