Fever be gone!
Shane's fever is gone but he is still in the recovery unit. He had a bit of tachycardia last night and this morning, i.e. his heart was beating a bit faster than normal. This can be a sign of a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) so the surgeon ordered a chest x-ray and CAT scan. All of the tests came back normal and Shane should be transferred to a room sometime this afternoon.

Thanks for the good updates, Alex! I'm sure that the rapid pulse was just his heart going pitter-pat at the thought of Spring, just 'round the corner! Give him a hug for me, okay? Love, John
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad to hear the fever's gone, things are getting to normal. Fingers crossed that Shane's in a room by now...or very soon. (I know, after all, that hospitals operate in their own time!) Sending hugs to both of you. :-)
