Hopefully this week

This is Brian with another update on Wendi. She is still recovering in the hospital. She was originally on track to be discharged from the hospital on Thursday, October 1, but I suspect that will probably end up being delayed. She has an elevated temperature (100.6 deg), which could be indicative of a developing infection where the IV line is inserted. To deal with the infection, her IV line was taken out last night and replaced with a fresh one. If she turns out to have an infection, it's not life-threatening, but her doctor is concerned about the infection spreading to her kidneys and complicating her recovery. She is receiving antibiotics through her IV line until her condition improves. Her doctor won't even think about allowing her to go home until her temperature drops and stabilizes in a more normal range.
