Sunday, July 31st - Day 42 (evening update)

The 3rd floor waiting area got crowded tonight and Tim isn't sure he is going to be able to post an update soon.

Well, after posting a pretty positive update this morning, I am sad to mention that her afternoon didn't go as well as we all hoped.

She received a lot of visitors today. This is not an exhaustive list but Ryan and Melanie were there. Amber and April came in the morning. Marilyn brought Kenzie and her half-sister.

Starting around 2:30pm, Tim said that Tori showed signs of agitation. Around 3pm she started to vomit. She doesn't have anything in her stomach so it was probably bile. She looked quite uncomfortable and Tim asked that Tori get medication to help her cope with the pain. Her respiratory rate was really high and she was flexing her muscles (arms up to her chests and flexing her feet).

Maria, July, Sophie, Whitney, Brendan, Tim and I had dinner at the Noodle Company. Grandpa and Grandma were kind enough to keep Tori company while we ran out for dinner. I know that Grandma was hungry and despite that she chose to stay with Tori.

I very much enjoyed sharing my dinner with Whitney. She just has a way to make me feel better. Whitz, if you ever read this: you are just the coolest – I love you.

If anyone wonders, Whitney and I shared Pasta Fresca and Pesto Cavatappi. Whitney, Brendan and I all agree that after trying a few dishes there, the Pesto Cavatappi is the best one.

Tim was joking today about us needing to invest in Kleenex. Tori has been downing the boxes of everyday regular facial tissues (brown color).

As we were leaving tonight, Tori's temperature was a little high. Her nurse ordered blood samples to be taken. Hopefully her temperature is not related to another infection. The blood cultures will tell.

Both Tim and Maria decided to stay with Tori tonight.

Thank you,
