The Flu is Here

So...Mini ran a fever last week. We ended up in the hospital for a blood work and a round of IV antibiotics...just in case...Two days of that and mini still had a temperature of 102.8....ugh!

Mini was finally diagnosed with the flu after an evening run to the ER...we were sent home with a prescription for Tamiflu....and isolation.

So...Mini cannot return to school until she has been without fever for 24 hours...I had to reschedule Mini's MRI...hopefully she will be well enough to take a scheduled neuro-psych exam next week....Ugh! Last week was just a quick reminder of the life we used to live before Mini's bone marrow transplant...not fun.
