Could they be more adorable?

Put another song on the jukebox, baby

The Vole @ The Voodoo Doughnut, Portland

The magic is in the hole. Quite. But The Vole feels the ATM is a good second bet

All better!

Fever passed. Then 36 hrs of on again off again projectile vomiting. But now the end of the suffering seems near and The Vole is perking up. Yay!

All Quiet on The Western Front

Our fabulous team at UCSF alerted Portland Childrens Hospital who rolled out the red carpet for The Vole. Good news was his white cells were strong (they'd been a bit iffy before his surgery) so they filled him with antibiotics and sent him home.

The fever persists - he's at 101 this morning, but he is in pretty good spirits. Drank only water during the night - not like him at all. We await the blood cultures - but for now all is well enough.

You give me fever

We're in Portland and its dark wet and cold. But not The Vole. To compensate for the gloom he's up to 101.7 and shining like a beacon. So we phone it in and wait. Who knows maybe we'll be able to do a comparison of hospital food here vs San Francisco. More later.
