Day 21: Cycle 7

Another spiking fever - her temperature shot up to 40.3 from a standing start in less time than it's taken me to type this. I woke to the sound of retching at 01:00 this morning & found her lying in vomit. It took me no time at all to call out the cavalry & get her to A&E.

It's 02:45 now; Susan's on an antibiotic drip at the North Middlesex Hospital with her temperature starting to come down; I'm surprisingly awake for having had only 1.5 hours sleep ... & 2 more paramedics are patrolling north London wearing CC wristbands.
