Several CQ readers have been asking about the First Mate, and today's a good time for an update. She has had continuing issues with her anemia and energy level while on dialysis, and last week she needed two units of blood for a transfusion. That went well and her hemoglobin levels rose, but over the weekend she started feeling pretty poorly. After fighting what looks like the flu for the past three days, her doctors had her admitted to the hospital at the U of M. It looks like she may have picked up a case of the flu from the transfusions.

She will probably stay there for the next couple of days, and that means my blog productivity may slow until after the weekend. Thanks for your understanding in advance.
