You know there are roller coasters in the park but you don\u2019t like being on one here.\u00a0 <\/span>Chloe went through a lot again today.\u00a0 <\/span>In the morning she took a wheelchair ride to the fish tank.\u00a0 <\/span>That was a nice break after having one of her huge pain spikes earlier.\u00a0 <\/span>While out, she was given a painting kit for later.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her doctor came in and said she wasn\u2019t happy with her fluid retention, her temp was still up and that she had low sodium levels.\u00a0 <\/span>She ordered another CT scan for her.\u00a0 <\/span>Those results came back quickly and they were fine.\u00a0 <\/span>However, they felt that she would be best monitored in PICU, so back she went to that unit.\u00a0 <\/span>She was very weak by this point.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Surprise.\u00a0 <\/span>She received a lumbar puncture soon after she arrived.\u00a0 <\/span>She was given another antibiotic and the current one was increased.\u00a0 <\/span>Then she also received an anti-viral medicine as the spinal tap showed a high level of white cells.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cBetter safe\u201d was the consensus.\u00a0 <\/span>She was well sedated during the procedure and didn\u2019t have any problems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PICU is all over her pain problems and taking blood every four hours.\u00a0 <\/span>She went through a couple more pain spikes in PICU but they seemed to be of lower intensity and for shorter periods of time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During the dinner hour Chloe and Dana were able to call Colin at his 13th<\/sup> birthday party so sing Happy Birthday.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m sure it was tremendous for all of them!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She is still very funny, especially on morphine.\u00a0 <\/span>Her dry humor gives mine a run for its money.\u00a0 <\/span>Dana and Ron were able to leave the hospital with her blessing.\u00a0 <\/span>Mama is to return promptly at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow!\u00a0 <\/span>She was peaceful when we left for the night.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dave, Ramona and Sandy are the taskforce in charge at the hospital tonight.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m sure Chloe will be in capable hands for sure.\u00a0 <\/span>She also has a very competent male nurse to give a hard time to\u2026. Although she is so the perfect patient.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
