Fever

Caroline went to the ER at CHOA yest. via ambulance for hypoxia and fever. Her chest x-ray and flu test were negative. The Ped. thinks she may have atelectasis/pneumonia. Her white count was higher today and she started coughing. Her secretions are thick and blood tinged so they did a trach culture as well. She got IM Rocephin at the office this morning and started oral steroids and another antibiotic. I think we caught it early! She slept all day today but managed to get in a game of Uno, and you guessed it, she won! ;-)

Thank you, Dr. Hassel, for the excellent care you give Caroline. And thank you, Stephanie, for staying an extra two hours, not because you "had" to, but because wanted to.
