Things are looking good for release tomorrow. The fever has not returned, she’s eating better and holding it today. But things can change so quickly.
So we’re not “counting our chickens before they hatch,” even though the toy of the week is an Old McDonald game that even the doctors like to play with her when they come by. One of her primary doctors got to sit on her bed and play for 15 minutes today. She didn’t want him to come into the room when this all started since he has been associated with the cause of this most unpleasant treatment.
I just heard today that a school in their neighborhood has had scarlet fever going around. I can’t help but wonder if perhaps the hospital has been the safest place for her this month even though it was not our place of choice!
