Once again, thanks very much indeed. Frances is deeply touched by the fact that she has had good wishes from (at a rough count) 18 countries and 20 states of the Union.
Your kindness and prayers (and candles) seem to be working. She is significantly better today, because the fever broke last night. I was with her for 5 hours today and we took two short walks around the hospital, towing her 3-legged friend with the drips on it.
We hope she'll be out on Tuesday or Wednesday. Here's how she looked today (M8.2, very ratty Summitar with balsam separation and fungus at f/2, ISO 1250). Probably too small/soft to see that she still has the oxygen thing up her nose.
Well, film would have taken too long...
Drat! Can't seem to get the attachment to work. As it's one in the morning I'm off to bed shortly.
Further Edit: OK so it's now ten to two but I love her very much so I hope the attachment worked.
Third Edit: Next to some of the probems that some people face -- such as the breast cancer Frances had in 2000 -- we know that bronchitis is pretty trivial. Which makes us both all the more grateful for the kind thoughts of those who are facing worse things. We both wish our well-wishers the very best too.
Love,
Roger (+ Frances)
