Mercy continues to be a pretty sick little girl today. She has a low grade fever (100.5 or so), and is not eating or drinking much. Unfortunately her IV needed to be changed because it was getting red looking, so she had to have that too.
The doctors are pretty convinced we are dealing with a stomach virus. The bad side of this is that with propranalol, children tend to have their blood sugars drop when they are sick and throwing up. So it is good we are in here as they can have her hooked up to IV fluids and avoid dehydration. I thought she was maybe going to get to go home tomorrow, but then while I was writing this, she threw up again. I guess tomorrow may not happen. :(
They have stopped giving her the propranalol and lasix while she is sick. So currently she is only getting her prednisone, and zantac. At some time in the middle of the night I realized that soon we will just be down to three daily doses of propranalol... and then eventually we will have no medications at all to be giving her!!!
That will be a glorious day.
