Last night Lucca just wasn't comfortable. We were up a lot through the night. By morning she seemed warm so I took her temp. It was 99.5 the magic number to head to the hospital is 100.4. I ended up feeding her and the she got sick. So I decided to call the on call doctor. We decided to watch her through out the day and keep in touch. After a day of being fussy, fever rising, and getting sick again we headed to the hospital. The labs done earlier in the day showed a low white blood count which is normal at this point after chemo and the rest of the counts were low but nothing that needed a transfusion. Her temperature kept rising while we were at the hospital. Once it reached above 100.4 they admitted us. She has had several crying episodes the longest one lasting an hour. She hasn't ate anything. They are not sure what is wrong except she has an infection. They are checking for RSV, and anything else. We wont know till the morning. If they can't find anything they will do a spinal tap for meningitis. Hopefully we don't have to do that.
