Sigh.

We were discharged from the hospital yesterday because Serenity had gone approximately 36 hours without a fever.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the meantime she is back on antibiotics and anti-nausea medication, along with extra potassium because her potassium did come back low.
