This week we experienced a slight change of plans when Carinna started running fever. It was not high enough for an ER visit, so I took her to the clinic bright and early Thursday morning... only to be informed that we would be sent over to the Children's Hospital.
Newborns + fever = hospital stay (and LOTS of fun tests)
So we stayed for a 24 hr observation. This is how she spent most of her stay. Her arm with the IV had a splint on it and she had no idea what she was supposed to do with that stiff arm!
On the bright side, all of the money that this detour cost us also bought us a charming little handmade sign! At least they make it festive for you!
All tests have come back negative so far for illness. Hopefully it was just some random spike in fever caused by an immature immune system. We have up to 4 days to see if the cultures grow anything... if so, we may be back up there! Fingers crossed for no growth!
