Spoke too soon........






Well it turns out I spoke too soon....Elle has had a fever since Tuesday morning and is still battling that. The last temp was 38.4 even with Advil and Tylenol. She has a respiratory infection and a urinary tract infection. She is on one antibiotic and will shortly be put on another for the urinary tract infection.....She has been sleeping for 2 days. We had her at her Respiratory appointment (good timing) and her chest was okay yesterday but now she has some crackles. We also had her at the Pediatric Day Unit today for a cath urine. That resulting in her diagnosis of a urinary tract infection.....she is white as a ghost. Every time this happens I can't help but ask what has she done to deserve this......she is such a happy girl that shouldn't have to go through all this stuff. The results from her sleep study also came back as good so they are not going to change her management as far as oxygen...

Kaden, he had his monthly RSV shot. They may be doing one more shot depending on the amount of children that are contracting RSV....He also had his respiratory appointment and his sleep study said that he has a bunch of obstructive apnea's and will continue on oxygen while sleeping and if he is awake and below 92 (o2 saturation's in his blood) then we are to have him on O2.....
It is now 10pm and Paul and Lori have taken Elle to emerg. cause unfortunately the prescription never got called in and she was crying and seems in pain. So they are off to see if we can get the prescription through emerg......they are also going to check on her throat swab results.....very unfortunate that we have to go through all this when all we needed was the prescription.

Well, I am off to feed Kaden and relax. I have a sore throat now and am very tired cause Kaden was up most of the night Monday and Tuesday. Last night he was nice to me and slept all night till 5am and went back to sleep by 6am and slept then till 930am.....still not enough to make up the loss but a good start......
