February 21st, 2016

Well, so much for the uneventful weekend! Mia woke up from her nap yesterday irritated and with a low grade fever and began vomiting.

Of course, this is when Ryan was scheduled to celebrate his birthday with a few friends. Mike and my mom stayed with Mia waiting to see if she would meet the criteria for an ER visit. We are so lucky that Mia has such an amazing Nana who helps take care of her! A good friend took Logan for a play date and I took Ryan to celebrate as planned.

My mom and Mike headed to the ER around 6:30 pm. I was able to finish celebrating with Ryan and then I headed to the ER. She received IV antibiotics and some fluids. They also took a urine sample. We got home after midnight.

Unfortunately, now we wait to see if anything grows from both her blood and urine cultures. They will check both at the 24, 48, and 72 hour mark. Her urine sample came back positive initially but they said because there were no white blood cells present it's considered inconclusive.

She woke up with another low grade fever this morning. Hoping this passes quickly and that nothing grows. If something grows from either culture then she will be admitted to CHOP. Please keep her in your prayers! Thank you as always!
