Last night I got up there and our girl was so fussy. It broke my heart. I did get some smiles but I also got lots of sass. Its pretty hard when you get so many smiles but very challenging to explain to new nurses how she smiles.....but thru the pain. She is such a strong girl. So i fed her and snuggled her and tried to help calm her a little. She'd had a decent day and these fevers come and go, so we know her body is really fighting hard. Around 10 her fever was well over 102 and the doctors began to get concerned. Again a full lab work up and another culture. It was a really really long night of fussing and sitting sleeping upright in the recliner to help keep her comfortable once we got to that point. Until then while in her bed, we took full advantage of no magnetic worries right now and let her listen to her favorite videos to help calm her down.
They ended up raising her venco level of Iv antibiotic and changing it to once every 12 hours. So they are aware and checking things out. Again, she is still on these mega drugs so they should cover but will not cover a virus. Still waiting on a final date for neurosurgery to tell us when they will put the shunt back in. Between the 16th and 23rd, we hope the earlier of those dates.
