Hannah's An Inpatient Again

Hannah was admitted to Children's this morning with a temperature of 103, a headache and stomach pain. She needed an immediate platelet transfusion. Initially, we thought she would need red blood as well, but that won't be until tomorrow morning.
We don't know yet the cause of fever or pain. I am hoping simple virus. Regardless, she has to stay at Children's until she is fever free for at least 24 hours and if her tests come back negative after 48 hours. So, bottom line is she is here no less than two days.
She is handling this extremely well. Quite the difference a year makes. She even handled a nose flush with very little fighting this morning.
Her fever went down after some medicine for most of the day. Late afternoon, though, it came back. She was searing hot. Her plastic allergy band literally seemed to be melting on her skin.
I will update as I get more information. Please, say a prayer for her that this is just a easy virus and we can return home soon. Thank you so much for everyone's support.

  6. Hi Carrie:

    I was just thinking of you and Hannah and your family--and sent an email to you! I hope that this was a better day for Hannah and for you. Please let Andrew know that I send my best to him too. I miss being his school counselor this year! He is such an awesome big brother--and son. Warmly, Kitty Burke (now at Whitman--wishing I was back at Madison..)

  7. Best thoughts and vibes to her, and I hope she's feeling better by now and on the waiting-to-get-out phase.

    Take care....
