Haylee had a fever again this morning - 101.4 and it's day 6. If she has another one tomorrow they will change some of her medications. She had Tylenol and Benadryl between 9-9:30am and was in and out of sleep until about 1:30pm. So, needless to say I was BORED OUT OF MY MIND! I was able to do some word searches, update my craigslist account, balance my checkbook, check my e-mail, color some ornaments, unwrap a present donated from the Taylor Brooks Foundation for Haylee, and view this blog to make sure it was like I want it. Yea, I got a few things done! :)
Dr. Kellar came in and said her sores don't look much better. I've managed to keep her off the morphine today and take only Tylenol for the pain. I'd rather her have morphine at night. Anyway, he said that her counts should start coming up, staying up, and stabilizing by this weekend or early next week. She has no monocytes today. That was a bummer to me this morning but, it is what it is. I felt like she backpedaled a little bit and I don't need to look at it that way. I guess I was just looking for her to have the same amount or more. I didn't think she would go back to zero.
Once I was finally able to convince her to get out of bed, we walked downstairs to the garden and sat outside in the sun. She hasn't been outside, like really outside, in weeks. She really enjoyed the fresh air (well, through her mask!) and the sunshine. We walked around the back part of the garden where she hasn't been before and she was getting cold so we went back inside and found The Voice, the radio station donated to the hospital by Ryan Seacrest. We got to go inside and look at all the pictures of the people who have been here. Daughtry and Gabbie Rae will be here at The Voice next week! We're pretty excited about that.
We went downstairs and saw a concert from Callenwald Orchestra Band from Decatur. It was nice to hear instrumental holiday music. The music from How The Grinch Stole Christmas was the best! Santa Claus made a surprise appearance and it put a smile on her face. Santa even lead the band in a song.
Back upstairs, her dinner order wasn't put in when I called at 5:30pm and left the message so I had to re-order her food at 7:45pm. It made me mad because the poor baby hasn't ate and she FINALLY wants real food and they didn't get the order!! 8:25pm, she finally gets her cheese ravioli with meatballs. Poor thing...she was hungry and I'm more than thrilled!!!!!!
