About 12:00 pm last night, Keira got very restless. Normally, she will put herself back to sleep, but not last night. We had to get up with her and hold her and rock her and it still took a long time to settle her down. She then woke up again around 3:00. This time, she had a fever of 101.5. For cancer patients that means a trip to the ER. So, about 4:00 am, we took Keira to Children's. We have been so blessed that this hasn't happened before.
She was given antibiotics and they are testing her blood and urine. They sent us home about 8:00 am. Throughout today she continued to spike fevers, getting as high as 102.5. We were able to use Tylenol to help control the fevers and try to make things a little easier on her. She spent most of the day snuggled up on my chest dozing (and acting as my own personal heater). She would stay there for an hour or so and then get up and play for 1o-15 minutes before wanting to just lay down again.
Overall, she seems to be doing ok. She is uncomfortable, but handling it all well. We ask for your prayers for all three of us, that Keira will be able to sleep and will get well so that we do not have to hospitolize her, that Erin and I will be able to comfort her, make good decisions, and get some sleep ourselves so that we can take of her.We pray she will be able to sleep tonight.
We will let you know more as we learn more. Thank you all,
Jason, Erin and Keira
