Back to the Hospital

We noticed that her temperature seemed a little high on Wednesday. The only thing we couldn't figure out was which thermometer we should go by. We were supposed to call if her temp hit 101 degrees. We took her temp with the new ear thermometer we got, but we couldn't quite get the same number twice. Under the arm her temperature was around 99.6, so we didn't know if we should worry. The next day she was very lethargic. She just sat there and didn't want to do anything. She still had that slight fever, so we called the doctor and they told us to come in right away. Apparently under the arm temperatures are always a little low, so she had a fever of 100.6 and that was enough to get us down to the hospital. They started her on antibiotics as soon as we got there. They do that just in case there is some kind of infection. Her counts were low, so they prefer to be safe. They tested her blood, but I don't think they found an infection. She probably got the virus I (Shawna) had. I will definitely be more careful with germs from now on! They make you stay in the hospital until her counts are above 200. We stayed until Sunday afternoon. She wasn't eating at all while we were there. It worried us, but the docs and nurses didn't seem surprised. She didn't get to walk around the hospital that time because others there might make her sick. This time Kelby would put out her arm when she saw the nurse come in to take her blood pressure. She also learned how to say "all done" when the nurse was all done messing with her. It come out more like "all dat", but we know what she is saying! It amazes me how much she is still changing and learning through all of this. It hasn't put a kink in her world it seems. She is so strong and amazing.
