Looks like we'll be hospiblogging this weekend, at least at some point. The First Mate has a respiratory infection that now looks like it needs immediate intervention, along with a nagging fever that has the transplant staff concerned. Blogging may be a bit light, along with other efforts this weekend, although I may have a few surprises up my sleeve.

Keep her in your prayers. This is nothing life-threatening, but it's a serious development any time for a double-transplant recipient, even more so during flu season. We both appreciate it.

UPDATE: The FM is waiting for a bed to open up at the hospital, which we think will happen in about 90 minutes. Her temp had been as high as 103.1F (39.5 for my friends in Canada and Europe), but now it's down slightly to 102.4/39.1. We're not sure what she has going on, but she's going to the right place to take care of it. More later ...

UPDATE II, 9:00 pm: The FM is resting comfortably at the hospital, and her fever has dropped down a bit more. I spoke with her an hour or so ago, and she wanted to just get some sleep. She thanks all of you for your prayers. I'll spend the day with her tomorrow.
