Fevers hanging on

We have no news on Bella. We are still in the hospital and they are still running tests to try and diagnose the fever! Pray they can find the cause and send us home. We are going on week 4 in the hospital. Fevers come and go when they want and Tylenol does not help lower them even though we continue to try it. Baths and wet wash clothes do help. Also doc has allowed Motrin twice daily at least 8 hours apart but we can't have it after tomorrow because not all doctors allow Motrin because it's messes with your platelets and tomorrow we get a new doctor. All blood cultures have so far been negative as well as 2 urines, a stool and 2 cat scans. Despite the fevers she is getting better everyday. Yesterday she played a little in the playroom, she has been asking to use the potty again and tonight she threw coins in the fountain and has been sitting up by herself. Like I said before it's like having a newborn all over again and accomplishing the milestones again. Today they started her on an anti fungal medicine in case she has a fungus growing somewhere. Right now it's just a waiting game to see what happens.

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." ~Colossians 3:15
