Cooling Blanket

Last night Karen received a cooling blanket and Tylenol suppository which reduced her fever to 99. She also received a muscle relaxant and more wires. She is now hooked up to a pulse monitor (the finger) and a blood pressure cuff.

Ann heads to D.C. this morning and is leaving early to beat the I-95 holiday traffic. Overheard Karen last night saying she is looking forward to Ann's visit but she could be hallucinating again. She’ll be the first advocate to arrive with a pad and pencil rather than a laptop. Might be rough.
