Haven't posted in awhile as everything was going along smoothly. Elaina had her first Oncologist appointment and it seemed that the wait and see approach was to be taken. Yesterday Elaina did not eat all day and was cranky. A call to the Oncologist brought her to the ER at Health Park last night where she was admitted due to fever, mild dehydration and some blood in stool. Another battery of blood tests, x-rays and cultures were performed. So far all tests are back as negative except we are waiting on some cultures. IV antibiotics were administered and she will spend 2 or 3 days in the hospital for observation and final delivery of antibiotics. So far today, the fever is down and her appetite is returning.
The Hemangioma is at the same size as before and has not grown, nor is it the source of infection.
It is great to have Lauren here as she is attending to the other kids, getting them to and from school while Frank returns to work.
I will post again as I know how she is doing.
