The patient is feeling slightly better. Last night she was feverish, in pain, and honestly we were concerned that we might need to go to the Emergency Room. But as the night wore on, her fever dropped, and she’s feeling a bit better. She’s still bleeding some, but not copious. We’re watching her real close, and today she seems almost chipper. Last night she was looking as poorly as I’ve ever seen her. Pale, sweaty, feverish, weak, barely communicative. But her vital signs were okay, and as I said, her fever dropped. She even had some chicken noodle soup before the end of the night. When I got a text message today that she had had even more, I was so proud.
Honestly, everything has taken second stage with this miscarriage. But things are getting back to normal, I hope for good.
Thanks so much for all your thoughtful comments and emails. Your thoughts and wishes and prayers are most welcome and actively comforting.

Thanks for taking good care of my sister, Joe. I love you for it! Give her a hug for me when you get a chance. And then give you one.
sorry to hear about what happened. If it is any consolation I have had some family members who went through the same thing, and in the end, everything worked out (my neice just turned 7). Send love to Leah and I hope she is feeling better
