Sunday Update

It was a long and productive weekend.  Friends from Iowa arrived late Friday afternoon to help me whittle down the to-do list.

( What got done )

It was lovely to have visitors and helpers all weekend, and I really do appreciate all the effort expended.  I hope "Buddy" is doing well, and will be taken care of in the morning.  Hopefully, the mystery of what happened will be cleared up soon.

Currently, I'm sitting next to DH, and he's not the happiest camper.  He's got a fever and chills, but his gut x-ray from earlier in the evening showed nothing to be overly concerned with.  They're going to take blood cultures from all 3 of his lines in a few minutes, plus stick his arm.  They probably won't change anything much before morning, as he's still on serious antibiotics.  But these kinds of things really wear on him, especially after having such optimistic news this morning.  It's really all part of the process, but it's hard to remember that when you hurt.  We may still get to have him home by Halloween, and that's terrific news except for the fact that I'm not entirely done with the house and haven't done the thorough cleaning yet.  ::sigh::  "The trick to getting every thing done is knowing what to leave undone.*"
