Timna Update from @P337 Wednesday 11/25/09

Timna Update Wednesday 11/25/2009 11:00-ish am Eastern Timna is feverish again. Her temperature is 39.C 103.F. They are running cultures on everything to try to find if there is an 'untargeted' bacterial culprit. Timna is getting stronger despite her fever. Her arm and hand motions are spasmodic at times. She did manage to non-purposely grasp her trachea tube and was gasping for breath as her arm did it's own thing pulling the tube out. I was frantically trying to unwind her fingers as I called for the nurses. It only came part of the way out and respiratory was able to reset it. Her blood oxygen only dropped into the low 90's. Her arms are gently restrained now. I was able to ask her in different ways about the arm motions and she confirmed each time that she was not trying to move her arms. The nurse will make the doctor aware of this today. Timna's surgery was moved from last night to this morning. I am sitting in the surgical waiting room now. Please continue to hold Timna up in prayer before the Lord. Timna Update Wednesday 11/25/2009 1:00-ish pm Eastern After waiting a while in the surgical waiting room and not seeing Timna's surgical number go up on the status board I asked what was going on. Timna's surgery had been bumped back to 6:30 this evening by a critical surgery. I am not upset about that because if Timna's surgery was critical I would want hers to bump a non-critical one. Waiting and finding out she had already been taken back upstairs without notifying me... I'm a little upset about that. Timna is sleeping deeply -- all that travel. Gurney lag. The cooling blanket has brought her temperature down slightly but her fever probably is what has her out like a light. Please raise your hands in prayer because we all know, 'many hands make light work'.
