I heard from a different doctor this afternoon, someone who has been in close touch with Dorothy’s immediate care team.

Dorothy is running more fevers again. They know that her previous infections have been bacterial in nature, and they believe that she is now experiencing fungal infections. They are beginning treatments for that.

Dorothy continues to be non-responsive to verbal instructions. Today, they are planning to do a CT scan of her brain to ensure that everything is still all right.

Unfortunately, Dorothy is having a harder time breathing while on her back, so they are keeping her on her front more than in the past to ensure good oxygenation. However, being on her stomach is a complication to performing a tracheotomy should it come to that. We are still targeting Sunday for a decision on that.
