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!
