Update#8, Nov. 1

Yesterday I ran out of all my 24 hrs around half way through my daily agenda, so here is a two day update. She had enough energy on Wednesday to show her thumb for OK, and frown for not-OK.  She was very thirsty.  I could have gotten away with probably everything on Earth for a glass of water.  I talked her into letting Rowan see her.  It looked she didn’t want Rowan to see her in this condition, but she wanted to see him, and Rowan wanted to see her.  So I promised the little 4yr old that if the hospital allows him in, he can see mommy.  And that was going to be the special moment for today.  However, Jitka’s energy goes hand-in-hand with her red b cell count….  Her count is down today, as I heard, and that might explain why she had no pretty brown eyes for us.  She opened her eyes for Roro,  she smiled.  But for the most part she was not really acknowledging us.  Roro now has an idea where and how mommy is.  I think it will help him.  I haven’t had a chance to speak with a doctor for two days.  I always need to leave to pick up the kids just before the opportunity is there to talk.  So I am not able to tell their thoughts.  I am going to try tomorrow again to ask someone.  We are a little concerned about the ongoing fever she has.  It would be nice to see it drop.  Her white cell count dropped only 200 as well.  

For those of you who are concerned about me…..all I can say Send Me Time!  Poor Jitka, time probably drags, and for me it is sprinting.   Thank you all for your nice letters, cards, visits, etc!
