We were discharged from the hospital yesterday because Serenity had gone approximately 36 hours without a fever. <\/p>\n
Yesterday afternoon she had a fever of 102. I called the hospital and they said to give her Tylenol and call back in the morning if the fevers persisted.<\/p>\n
Late last night she started throwing up & had a fever of 104. She couldn’t keep any Tylenol down and when we called the hospital the oncologist on call told us to come back and be readmitted. <\/p>\n
Last night was rather traumatic. Among other things, they ran a small tube up her nose and down the back of her throat and suctioned out some secretions to run tests on. At 3 in the morning she finally calmed down and had stopped throwing up enough to keep some Tylenol down.<\/p>\n
So here we are. I haven’t yet got the results of the new tests they’ve been running. We never did know exactly what caused her fevers before but the consensus was probably a virus that held on a really really long time. Hopefully the doctors can figure it out, and I can take my little girl home again. <\/p>\n
In the meantime she is back on antibiotics and anti-nausea medication, along with extra potassium because her potassium did come back low.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
