We are hoping Susan Rapp will be home Monday; keeping our fingers crossed. She had been running a fever and a slight elevation of blood pressure so they kept her today. Tomorrow she'll get chest x-rays and if vitals are stable she'll be going home. She has been having nausea while trying to tolerating fluids and couldn't stand the smell of broths. However for the first time today she was able to take a pill for nausea. This make a huge difference for her and she is not tolerating liquids better She got down 3 ounces of cranberry juice; her fever and blood pressure were coming down as well. It appears that she is turning the corner, heading for home. Just some tidbits for all of you "soon to be losers" We discovered ice and water chilled washcloths wrapped around wrists help reduce feverish feeling; when placed on her forehead and mouth, her nausea subsided Thanks for all your support, prayers, visits, gifts, flowers, and phone calls. Sincerely, Sista Sue W (her excited partner that can't sleep).

Susan- sorry it has been such a hard haul for you. Believe me, once your recovery gets rolling you will feel much better. This is just a miserable hump you have to get over. I have a feeling that Sue will take good care of you once you are home and will do her best to try and make you comfortable. Here's to an uneventful recovery from here on!!!!
