I'm getting ready to go pick up Dorothy from daycare and go back to the hospital to see Elizabeth, and just wanted to post an update for those one or two people I haven't already spoken with on the phone. :-P
Elizabeth is feeling somewhat better. The doctors (she's not only seen her gynecologist, but also the entire Infectious Diseases Team) don't think that the last couple of days were a gynecological problem, and they don't think she has meningitis. They suspect that the fever of 104 might have been caused by one of the antibiotics she'd been prescribed on Wednesday. Since being in the hospital, they've had her on intravenous antibiotics, but different from the ones she'd been taking. And her fever hasn't seemed to spike again so far.
Right now, it looks like they'll keep her overnight to keep an eye on her and see if her fever goes up again. If it doesn't, then they'll probably send her home tomorrow.
