| Ella wearing a mask in the ER |
The one thing I still do not like about our hospital is that it is a school. So we got a resident in the ER, one that had a cold and was wearing a mask. He came in with this little notepad and started to recited back to me what the doctor told him. It think it is just that most of them just do not instill any confidence that they know what they are doing and have got it covered. So, I became "That Mom" and told him before he could read it off his pad and asked to make sure someone with experience accessed her port. The nurse was experienced, but she had trouble accessing Ella's port. Then they tried to take it out of her arm, and failed. She fished around for about 5 minutes and nothing. I can't tell you how proud of my girl I was. She didn't cry at all. Many thanks to Aunt Carrie who brought the Muppet Movie and it kept her completely occupied. So, then they went to the other arm. Ella was a trooper. She had another nurse come in to draw the other arm and that nurse got her port access to work and got it out of her arm. Ella's counts were still good, so her body is fighting it on it's own. She got the antibiotics and we were able to go home.
On Monday we were scheduled to go back to Clinic, but her blood cultures all came back negative for bacterial infections, so we got to stay home. Her fever is gone for now and she is in a good mood. Fingers crossed!
