After spending 2 weeks in the hospital with Taran (a story for another time), we are back in the hospital with Serenity.
On Thursday Serenity’s ANC & hematocrit were low at our clinic appointment, & she received a transfusion. Yesterday morning she was fine but by night time she had a fever of 101.8 & the doctor on call told us to bring her in to be admitted. By the time we got settled in she was covered in little red bumps & complaining that her mouth hurt.
They drew blood for labs and started cultures on her blood & urine last night, and also started her on Zosin, an antibiotic. This morning she woke up feeling much better & her rash is receding. It is still quite prominent in her diaper area which concerns me, but hopefully we will soon know what caused it.
If she is dealing with a virus rather than a bacterial infection, and continues to make progress we could go home as early as tomorrow.
ah, now the mystery of why you didn’t come to get the pediasure is solved! 🙂 I’m so sorry she is in the hospital. Please keep us all updated on how she is doing. love, love.
I have been wondering about both kids. Thank you for the update, I’m still praying!
