Bad Weekend

Friday night about 11:00pm Ella started to become very fussy screaming, we couldnt calm her down all night. At 7am I checked her temp and she was at 102.1, I called her doctor and he was very concerned with her since there was no other symptoms. We spent the morning in the hospital running tests. Sometimes a fever can be linked to DWS, so they did tests to see if Ella might have a disease that is associated with DWS. 3 nurses and I held her down and put an IV in her scalp to draw blood and set up fluid. This was very odd to me, I have never seen a IV put in the scalp. According to the nurse this is used quite often in infants in the hospital, its easier to get a IV in the scalp than the arm or leg because of all the moving around a baby does. It was pretty hard on me to watch this and see Ella suffer the hurt of it. Bu I also knew it was for a good cause, so they could figure out what was going on. The doctor came in and talked to me, he said that everything came back normal. That he is unsure why she is running a fever. He said that she could be coming down with something, it just hasnt shown up in her yet. They decided to release her pending if her fever got high again. Ella's fever hasnt gone back to normal range all weekend. The lowest it has been is 99.6, which is a fever in a infant, just not a dangerous high. So far no other symptoms are still showing as of this morning. I have contacted the doctor and waiting for a call from him.

The concern I have is her PDA and her DWS what if this is something associated with one of those? Thank you for all the prayers that have been over flowing. Thank you to my Aunt LaRue for putting Ella's name in the temple, she has done this since Ella was born. We love you Aunt Larue, thank you for thinking of us and all your support. Also a HUGE thank you to my friend Jamie, she also has a prayer request in to SMCC, we have support from people we havent even met. Thank you to my parents and all other family and friends that have prayers and love for my beautiful girl. I just know with all the prayers and support we can make it through all of this bumps. Ella has a lot of love and support!  I will update with any news.
