Transmission begins
[Short, sharp mode engaged]
Caity still recovering.
Sorry fewer updates than expected, but Teabot 5000™ has been stress-testing the track to the hospital by multiple use.
Today this unit must buzz all over town like a blue-@rsed flybot, because Caity’s CPAP machine did not start up when transplanted to hospital.
Teabot 5000™ will arrange repair and a loaner machine today.
If more time was available for hospital staff to actually observe patients (this would happen in a hypothetical perfect world, which Does Not Compute), somebody might have seen that Caity was not getting a lot of joy out of the Up-Your-Nose O2 delivery thingy, owing to the fact she was beathing via her mouth a lot.
A masky thing on the face has improved matters a little: a proper CPAP will be better.

Rushed off your feet? Try LOTS OF COFFEE!

Further CaityStatus reports after next.
End Of Transmission
—- Late Update 1123 HRS —
CPAP machine appears to be motor-damaged. “Did you transport this machine with water in the humidifier?”
Well, duh, no. Caity is very protective of The Lung That Walks By Night. I personally field-stripped, washed, dried and reassembled that humidifier before moving it.
People handling the machine since? I couldn’t possibly comment.
And it’s out of warranty. The moaning of one’s inner Scotsman can be heard.
