Back to School 2009!

Kenzie was feeling great this morning, no fever and all smiles so off to school she went (at least for a little while until we see her doctor for a follow-up appointment). For the first time she and her sister A are in the same school together. A very exciting morning for all!

Little B may be a little too familiar with medical procedures. A doctor in the making perhaps?

Kenzie had a good night last night, fever is still hovering between 99 and 100.5 but her white blood cell count is trending down towards normal. It started at 37,000 on Friday and is at 24,000 this morning. Her biggest concern is getting out of her room but since she is on droplet precautions they dont want her to leave. We never know what she will do next we are hopeful she will remain the same or better today and be allowed to go home this evening. Check back later, I seem to recalling saying this before! Around May 7th.

We checked into Children's tonight at 7 pm. Kenzie has been running a fever for a week and is leaving us with....get this....more questions than answers! No ear infection, no strep,no UTI, no digestive issues. Nothing, nada to give a clue what's going on other than very elevated white blood cell counts and a fever. CT scan didn't show an abscess as they expected but rather her Gall bladder may have rolled over on itself leaving a "second mass" on the films. Seems to not be a concern.hmmmm something tells me this may come back. Mental note: gall bladder. Chest x-ray seems clear for now.
Her fever is down tonight and she is sleeping soundly. In fact, I think she sleeps better in the hospital than she ever does at home. Now, that doesn't seem fair. We were finally admitted up to a room at 4:30 am. We will likely be here 48
hours for observation.
Going to sleep now.
