Day 397

     Katie's fever continued throughout the night.  We thought her fever broke today, but she got another fever this afternoon.  Her heart rate continues to be high and her breathing laborious.  She has been very pale, although she seems to have perked up a little bit tonight.  Her cough isn't any better.
     Her second chest x-ray came back showing a growth of something in the lower part of one of her lungs.  They are going to take another x-ray tomorrow.  The doctor said they didn't know what it is - anything is possible at this point.  It could be no big deal or it could be a big deal.  We will just see what tomorrow brings.
     Today I am glad my mom is still alive and I can talk to her.  Sometimes you just need your mom.
   UPDATE: Fever again at 9 p.m.  I suppose this will continue through the night again - just like the continuous blood draws, medications, and vital checks....
