Fevers returning?
Mina Brigitta has been hovering between about 37.2 and 38 degrees all day (roughly between 99 and 100.5), which is just below where they take action. If she gets to 38 for an hour or 38.3 once, they'll send blood to the lab for culturing and bring in the massive antibiotics. She was 38 at about 9 PM, but just now was back down to 37.4. Also, her nose continues to run and her cough has changed to where it sounds like her cold is coming rather than going. They say RSV tends to come and go, and the docs don't seem worried. I just hope that's all it is, and I worry that if it comes again, how will it ever go when she has so few white blood cells left?
The good news is, she ate some Saltines and Cheerios tonight, her first solid food since last Thursday. Also, Grandma and Grandpa are coming tomorrow! They're staying for ten days, which will really help.
