Well.
Lewis was supposed to give a paper in Cambridge on Wednesday. I was going to meet him there tomorrow and catch up with a couple of people as well. But he's not in Cambridge, and I am not going. We've each spent at least one night away from home this week, though, and stayed with Anna in the university hospital of north Durham. This is good: having to go back and forth from Newcastle in the summer of 2011 was much more taxing.
Anna will be fine. But a girl who doesn't take medicine well under the best of conditions was not about to drink the vile potion that they said would fight the infection that was making her face red and swollen and sending her temperature sky-high on Tuesday. So IV antibiotics it had to be. She's pretty chipper and the doctors will send her home tomorrow, where she'll continue with a more pleasant-tasting antibiotic.
In the meantime, she's watching lots of movies with her dad, having her nails painted by me (and doing mine as well--photos to follow, or check them out on facebook), and generally charming the socks off everyone in the ward.
That's my Anna!
