Wow! So there has been a lot happen since the last post. A few hours after posting, she got a fever and after watching it for a bit and it rising, we had to go to ER again. They made us wait in the conference room to be away from others, it was a bit of a wait and she went potty while we waited. It was really busy. We were finally in a room then realized we didnt do magic cream for her port access, so the nurse had to go get the stuff, put it on, and then we had to wait for it to numb. They did the access with the wrong size and it did not feel good, poor thing was in pain. We got results and her counts were like 11000, still high so that was good. They did a flu test, it was negative. They wanted a urine sample, she didn't want to go. I was really wishing we had a cup when she went when we got to the ER. Finally we got her to go by bringing in a potty to the room. Then, they gave her the antibiotic and Tylenol and we were still waiting on urine test. It took forever to get the results! Finally they came and said she had another UTI, strange. She just finished up the meds from the last one. And she also how no pain anymore. Anyway, then we went home with a prescription for a new antibiotic.
The next day she was fine. She was running around being Taylor all weekend. Saturday night she was playing around so much that she fell and banged her head, cutting it open a bit. So I had to take her to the local ER to get it glued back up. It wasn't bad though, in and out really fast. And she brightened up the faces there that worked with her. She is such a charmer.
Tuesday afternoon she started complaining about her leg hurting, up by the hip groin area. That night she woke up crying in pain over it so much that she woke others and I had to move her to our room. I gave her some pain meds and that helped her sleep. Wednesday morning she woke up and was still complaining. She did not want to walk on it and if i picked her up, it hurt and it was awkward to carry her. It was hard to find a way to hold her without her complaining. We went to the hospital for our appts. First it was ENT to check her throat again. We had to wait a little bit but it went well. She did awesome and everything looked perfect! Then we were down to chemo. It was crazy busy in there, we had to wait in waiting room for like an hour. We finally got called back and our Doc was busy so we saw a different one. Counts were good, temp good, but she was down almost a pound. We talked about her leg/hip and they sent us down for xrays, which came out fine. It was a small wait there, but in and out pretty fast. Then back to chemo where everything went well. It was a long day, but we got home around 2 and we were doing well.
She started acting tired and took a nap on the couch around 2:45. At 4 I woke her and took her temp cuz she seemed like she prolly had a fever. She was 102.1! So, I knew I would be going back up to the hospital. I finished feeding the baby and called the Doctor. Then got Taylor and mylsef ready and jumped in the car. The Doc called back right as we were about to leave and said they would let ER know we were coming... I was happy that at least we were getting this done early in the day so that we would be home at a decent hour and get normal sleep... that did not happen... finish this story in another post...
