Update

Thank you, everyone who has been praying.

I have better news todayl

The last test of Mom's blood showed absolutely no sign of the septicemia and the ultrasound revealed no abscessed organs (whew!). Both of those are answers to prayer.

She still has spiking fevers, though--not as high, but definitely spiking, which has the folk at the hospital somewhat puzzled. They're running tests for malaria now--yes, even after all this time, it might still be in her blood and might actually have taken all this time (13? 14? years) to show up. The pattern of the fever spikes does match the "typical" malarial pattern, so it is a possibility. Remote, but a possibility. I don't actually know what all else they're testing for.
