Another Sunday at the hospital. Sarah did fairly well today. Her fever went up once during the night and they needed some Tylenol to bring it back down. The doctor's this morning did seem impressed on how high her fever was. We have seen it that high before, so it wasn't as worrying for us. The doctor's wanted to watch Sarah until Monday morning. They wanted to give the blood tests a while longer to see if anything grew and wanted to make sure she didn't get another fever. If the tests are still negative and she doesn't have a fever overnight, we should be released in the morning.
Our home teachers came to visit this afternoon. Sarah loved to see them and had them give her a blessing. They have done a good job of helping out. My wife was impressed that so many people at church knew about Sarah being admitted to the hospital, until she was reminded of the blog. It is a great way to get information out.
This evening Sarah was in a very silly mood. She wanted to tickle and be tickled. I view that has her being a little over tired. She did manage to get her IV tube under her IV pole. When we picked her up to get back in bed, she got a good yank on her tube which seemed to have pulled out the port needle. The IV nurse came and pulled the port and Sarah had to be re-accessed. This all happened after her bed time, so shortly after she was de-accessed, she fell asleep and had to be waken to re-access her port after the LMX cream numbed the skin up.
We are grateful for all those who help and provide support for us. We are grateful for friends who are willing to give rides and watch kids during these times. We love you all.
