Instead of checking into the hospital yesterday morning, we were checking temperatures. And Darla Jane's was 101. She had a fever earlier in the week but we thought it was long since gone. Nope. It was back and so I called to talk with the doctors to decide what to do. Anesthesia as well as placing the coils (or plugs) being sick, especially with a fever are very risky. So with a unanimous vote we decided to reschedule.
Not only does she have a fever, but little miss also has been reunited with her dear friend Mr. McNaselCanula. Who she really was not very excited to see. She is needing around a liter to keep her sats up. I'm not sure if it is because of the illness or her heart, possibly a little of both. But it's back and will be around until she doesn't need it any more.
We took Darla Jane to the pediatrician to see if we could find the cause of the fever. Official diagnosis from the doctor himself was that she has a "wicked bad ear infection". We were given a prescription for Omnicef and were told she would be good to go for her cath which is now rescheduled for March 1st. I just figure it gives us time to get some more prayers in.
She is such a sweetheart. I will definitely keep her in my prayers. Love her!
