Eugie K. Foster Update
Eugie Foster, author, editor, wife, died on September 27th of respiratory failure at Emory University in Atlanta.
In her forty-two years, Eugie lived three lifetimes. She won the Nebula award, the highest award for science fiction literature, and had over one hundred of her stories published. She was an editor for the Georgia General Assembly. She was the director of the Daily Dragon at Dragon Con, and was a regular speaker at genre conventions. She was a model, dancer, and psychologist. She also made my life worth living.
Memorial service will be announced soon.
We do not need flowers. In lieu of flowers, please buy her books and read them. Buy them for others to read until everyone on the planet knows how amazing she was.

- Exhausted from fever, cough, shortness of breath. Waiting with @MatthewMFoster at Winship for results of chest CT scan. #CopingWithCancer 12:59:43, 2014-09-03
- Well, dammit. CT scan was not clean, areas in my lungs that were a little inflamed much worse now. Being re-admitted into the hospital. 13:36:47, 2014-09-03

Stem Cell Transplant Day 32: in ICU. Breathing Hard.
In ICU with pneumonia. On oxygen and LOTS of meds. Docs don’t know what kind of pneumonia, can’t tell if I’m getting worse or better due to how one possible disease manifests. They want to do a bronchoscopy but can’t without intubating me. They’ve been fasting me for almost two days now in case of intubation. Trying really hard NOT to have to be intubated. In wait and see mode.

- At 1st follow-up post-hospital release. My white counts are good (yay!) but still feel like crap because of sleep deprivation. #AmbienNowPlz 11:42:21, 2014-08-25
- Five hours. FIVE hours is all the sleep Ambien was able to bring me. Very disappointed. Was hoping for at least six. #StillSleepDeprived 04:22:45, 2014-08-26

Stem Cell Transplant Day 18 (Day +11)
We’re engrafting, yay! My white cell counts, while still critically low, are beginning to rise. I’m also getting fevers, but not the stupid human suit kind, but rather the sort typically associated with stem cell engrafting.
My blood pressure tanked last night to the point of me standing in my room confused, trying to figure out how to work the soap dispenser. After that, they turned on the bed alarm, so I can’t get up without someone there to assist me. I feel rather silly about it.
In other news, my GI tract is still in the process of rebooting, which is extremely uncomfortable. Food is primarily liquid still.
Slept almost the whole day yesterday. This stem cell growing is exhausting.
