1:00 a.m.

Waiting for Tim to get back from the ER with my mom. She had a high fever (104 degrees ) tonight that came on quite suddenly. She was fine at dinner time, but at the ER they found that she has a very high white blood count so obviously she has an infection. It could be the liver biopsy site, but it seemed clear and there is no way to know.

Things were just getting too easy today. After a weekend of her feeling tired and weak, it was nice to have a pretty pleasant day today with her seeming quite happy and enjoying the kids. At dinner she was cracking up at Frank's questioning that never ends. He got onto the topic of death; whether he will die, who will die first, what if everyone died. She somehow found this hilarious, which I was thankful for. She really loves Frank and his curiosity. It's good to see her enjoy someone so much.
