D+61 [postscript]

Couple of other things I forgot to mention.

First, Ryan had another CT today. Dr. A wanted to take another peek under the hood since Ryan's fever is hanging around with no known cause. Based on our experience with the last fever, the docs will keep searching for the source of the fever until (a) they find something or (b) it goes away on its own. There's not much of a downside from our point-of-view. According to Dr. A, the radiation is a little bit more than you would get on a transatlantic flight. The real concern for me is that we actually have to leave our safe little room and venture out into the world of filthy people. In the end, the CT came back unchanged from the last one. Kidneys and liver are a little enlarged, which is expected with the meds that Ryan is on. Ryan's bladder, under constant assault from the evil BK virus, is looking much better. Dr. A said it looked nearly normal, with no visible clots. Ryan's sinuses looked much better as well.

In a more exciting development, our night nurse Allison managed to bang her forehead on a desk while practicing her winking skills. Not much of a winker myself, I didn't realize that such a high degree of total body control was necessary to execute a wink. We may have to look into getting Allison a safety helmet to protect her head until she gets a bit more practice.
