I posted Kelly's musings below. Last night, her pain was not getting better and she developed a fever and so I took her to the ED at Hospital Aleman - German Hospital - http://www.hospitalaleman.com.ar/hospital/index.htm . We stayed most of the night in the observation unit then went home. Her labs indicate an infection; possibly of the kidneys but its not completely clear yet. She seems to have back pain independent of that. We went back this AM to finish the tests and decided together with her doctors that it would be best for her to stay in the hospital for now so that they can finish the tests, and treat her pain more effectively. I won't elaborate here but I will say that - you wish you could get healthcare like this as a stranger in the US. She has a very nice private room overlooking a courtyard. The telephone number to her room is 5411-4827-7000 ext. 2530 - this includes the Argentina code 54 and the Buenos Aires code 11. I would not try to call her unless your Spanish is good and you know how to make international calls. She is not expecting calls and I put it in just for reference.
I'll keep you posted. Remember that no news is good news and I may not have internet access often.
Chau,
Kevin

oh! jeeze! sorry to hear about this turn of events! lewie promises to be a super extra good dog from now on if kelly promises to get better soon.
If you believe everything that Lewie promises, I have bridge across the Rio Plata that I'd like to sell you.
Damn - I have not got the hang of these blog things - and Susan just called me to tell me what was going on with Kelly. How unfair is that! Having gone back to your blog - I now know even more. What a sad and depressing turn of events. Do know, Kelly, and you too ,Kevin, that we are all thinking about you, and sending really good vibes, which will make you well ( if you believe - like Tinker Bell). Keep in touch, and I will try to think of something funny, tomorrow - not feeling very funny today). Get well, Kelly!
Thinking of you - Love and kisses - Judy
