Fevers Continue, Part 2

Maggie has continued with her fevers throughout the night and into this morning. All of her cultures have come back negative so they seem to think that Maggie might have a virus. She could have caught this virus anytime within the last couple weeks, but there's no way of telling. Regardless, she is miserable when she is spiking a fever and waiting for Tylenol. And to make matters worse, she is getting mouth sores again. The last couple of days she has not breastfed much and since this is her source of calories because she doesn't eat solid foods, she hasn't taken much in. And if we want to add more issues, she is beginning to teeth, so that is not helping matters any.

Maggie is currently getting a blood transfusion, which means multiple blood pressure readings. This is causing her to be very upset with the continual "hugs" on her leg. She will most likely get a platelet transfusion today as well.

As for the future, we must be patient and wait this virus out. Please pray that her fevers will stop and that her mouth sores will not get worse or be painful. Please pray for us all during this difficult time.
