Don't Scare Me Like That!

Last night we had a bit of a scare. I was out with my friends at a Scrapbooking Crop and I called the hospital around 8:30pm to check in on Liliana. The nurse told me that she was ok, but really fussy for some reason. We talked for a few minutes more and I asked her what Lily's heart rate was. She said in the 150's. Typically when Liliana's heart rate starts to creep up it means she is about to spike a temperature. I asked the nurse if they had taken her temp lately. They just so happened to be doing her vitals when I called and I requested they take her temperature rectally. Sure enough she had a temperature of 38.9 (can't remember what that is converted but I know that it is high). The nurse was like, "Yep Mom you were right." What do they always say about mothers...Mom always knows best. Well, she told me that they would give her some tylenol and not to worry about coming up because they had plenty of staff here to sit in with her and just to call back in about an hour. So I went back to my scrapbooking a bit worried but continued on until it was about 10pm. This time when I called the nurse told me that she was settled down and asleep. Ahhh! That sure eased my mind, but being a mother I just needed to call back one more time before I went to bed so after I left the crop I called again around 11:15pm in route home. They say three times is a charm, well it wasn't a charm but she definitely was not a happy camper. The nurse told me she was stable but that they had to increase her oxygen and that she was once again irritable and her heart rate and breathing were slightly elevated. I decided after going home and attempting to talk to my half asleep hubby to come up to the hospital. When I arrived she was asleep. She slept most of the night, but I didn't. To make a long story short she had received two different vaccines over the past two days and the docs and nurses are thinking that she probably had a reaction to them. They don't want to rule anything out again so they sent off cultures again just to be safe. She also has a very swollen little thigh were she received the shots so they are using hot and cold packs to help bring down the swelling. They turned off her feeds last night and put her back on IV fluids but this morning they are putting her back on NG feeds continuous for today. Wheee! That is it in a nutshell! What a whirlwind ride this entire journey has been. At least I think we are still headed in the right direction.
