Day 40- Back in the Hospital

Ella still had a temp this morning, so back to the Hospital we went. The doctor checked her out and decided to admit her until her fever is under control. All the way to the Hospital she just kept saying "I just wanna go home".  I think she knew it wasn't going to be good. Her high fever today was 102.6, that was right after we were admitted.  They are running tests on her blood and finally let her have some Tylenol- so her fever went away immediately!  The Infectious Disease Doctor is checking her out too.  All those times when they were little and something small seemed to be wrong and I thought to myself  "Na, I won't call the Dr., I'm just being paranoid.", well paranoid is good now.

She is finally resting after a long day of being poked at and asked to breath by doctors and residents. We are praying that her fever stays gone and we will be able to go home soon. She isn't really eating right now, and will only drink if we remind her. We will know more tomorrow after the blood tests come back. They think she just has a virus and will have to wait it out.

I am not worried or afraid because I feel at peace and know that she will be fine.  One of the nurses came over and just looked at me for a minute today. I asked her what she needed and she said she was trying to figure out if I was upset that Ella was being admitted. I am not because I know it is just part of the process. They are doing everything in their power to keep her little body together during this process- how can I be mad?

Ella asked Dadda to stay with her tonight- so I am off to the house for a full night sleep, and I'll be back in the am.  We are so grateful for friends and family r have offered to help us out. We love you.

P.S. listening to KLOVE on my way home from the Hospital 'Praise you in this Storm" is on.....
"I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am....."
