DAY 6: Checking for infections

Today my mom woke up feeling okay.
Overall she's doing pretty well.
Her blood pressure levels have been pretty good.
Her sugar levels have been lower than they had been.
Last night she had a slight fever (100.4), but thank God this morning it went down.

Today she starting having a headache and sinus pressure.

The doctor wants to check to make sure that an infection isn't brewing. The fever, achiness and sinus pressure she's been feeling last night and today may be symptomatic of an upcoming infection. The doctor ordered cultures, x-rays and urine samples to check it out and make sure there's no blood infection or urinary infection.

Mommy has been complaining of headaches the past couple of days. We were suspecting that it might be caffeine withdrawal. She asked for a "REAL" coffee so we grabbed a small, black coffee from McDonald's next door.

Look at that smile!
