FEVER!
We woke up happy and had a ginormous breakfast. Right after her meds, her face started
getting red, she complained of a headache and she was cold. 100.7 and 100.9 which means another
peripheral blood draw. K flipped,
screaming “no more pokey”. It’s is
heart wrenching. Our nurse came in
and said that they had to draw right away to catch the fever. I said absolutely not without the
numbing cream (buys us an hour). I
won this battle but lost the battle to have the blood drawn only from her
port. Seriously, they just drew
blood from her hand less than 48 hours ago but they said it is only good for 24
hours without another poke. Of
course K had no fever in 24 hours!
I don’t know if it was her drinking my water or the access and deaccess
of the port yesterday or the walks in the hallway, or the food, or the….neutropenia. It could be anything. I want to scream!
Outside of pokey, this means another 48 hour sentence and it is killing her cute little spirit. She needs to be home!
