…Doesn’t have quite the same ring as “back to the future” and while it involves high tech equipment and scientists, a delorian is no where to be found and unfortunately, none of these scientists are white-haired and mad.
Well, actually, after meeting another attending today, they might be wonky after all.
Adahlia wasn’t sleeping well. Irritable, tossing and turning. Was very warm. Too warm, for a baby we expect to need a transfusion today. Hot.
Ok, all joking and storytelling aside, she was 101.6 at home and admitted to the ER with a 102.9. She’s been given IV antibiotics and fluids and they have lab tests pending. Her temperature dropped to 100.2 last time they checked. It took them 7 – yes SEVEN – needle sticks to get a working IV and labs drawn. One on each hand, one each elbow crease, and twice on the same foot, and then again in the elbow crease.
When we know more, so will you.
Our love and light.
Erika, Joe and Adahlia,
Sending so much love and healing thoughts to you all. Your strength through all this amazes me. I am so thankful that you are in Portland and have so many wonderful doctors, healers and a supportive community who are part of your team right now. Love you all
