It Was A Virus!

We are home! Hannah finally cleared the 48 hour, negative cultures and 24 hours of fever free required to leave hotel Children's.

Turns out she has a virus. Metapnumovirus, which is a respiratory virus, is what was making her so sick. We would have been able to leave sooner, but during her red blood transfusion on Tuesday, she spiked a fever. Since that could be an adverse reaction to the blood being transfused, they had to stop the transfusion and run blood tests. The fever also meant that she had a new start time for the pesky 24 hour fever free rule. Luckily, her fever stayed away after that and she started to improve.

She still has the virus. It will take awhile to clear. She looks and feels much better now, though. She isn't all clammy anymore and is very excited to be home.

Thank you all so much for your support and prayers!

On to the prayers. We are saying a few more today. Hannah's great Aunt Chris passed yesterday morning after a hard fight against cancer. She was seriously, the coolest lady. Just saying that doesn't seem to do her justice. Please, just trust me on that. She was one of good ones. And there are so few.

  1. I'm SO glad she's out!! She probably has the evil virus none of us can get rid of :(

    Enjoy this time at home. Soak it up. I know you will. Soak up some sun while it pops out too!!

  2. I just caught up on the last post so I didn't realise she was in hospital - but am so thankful and happy for you that she's out.

    I'm very sorry to hear about your (or your husband's) aunt. Lots of love to you all. x

  3. Oh, phew! So good to hear she's out of the hospital! Here's to a quick recovery after this!

    Also, would it be alright if I used a picture of Hannah in our Relay for Life Luminaria ceremony this Saturday? Just, in her honor.

  5. Yay! I am so very glad you are home and Hannah is better! I can personally vouch for all of the bugs going around this season. Metapnumovirus is not one I've heard of though. That is a mouthful and sounds very unpleasant! Let's hope we start getting some warmer weather to burn out all of these viruses that are going around. Take care. Kathy

  6. Oh, I'm so glad she's okay! And I'm sorry about cool Aunt Chris. It hurts when one of the good ones leaves us, because you're right, there are so few. xxoo
