04/10/06 - Hannah spiked a fever this morning (39.1) She has been given tylenol every 4 hours but the fever has not gone down yet. She was started on morphine this afternoon for the pain in her mouth and tummy. The urine culture taken on Friday when she had the blood in the urine tested positive for a strep virus so she was started on an antibiotic for that today. Hannah's G-Tube was draining a little today and when swabbed tested postive for infection. She also had a chest xray done today which showed some decreased air entry in her right lung and some brown spots. Doctors felt this may be a result of the radiation or it may be a fungal infection so they started her on an antibiotic for that. As of today Hannah is on 4 DIFFERENT IV ANTIBIOTICS. Her platelets taken this morning were only 7 so Hannah received a transfusion. About 8 hours later blood work was taken again and they had only gone up to 27 so she was given a second transfusion of platelets. The doctors want to keep her platelets above 30 because of the recent fever. Her hemoglobin also dropped this afternoon so Hannah was awaiting a transfusion of red blood cells. A very busy day for Hannah. Besides being on 4 antibiotics, morphine and given 3 blood transfusions Hannah found time to rest and watch tv. She doesn't yet have the energy to sit up and do crafts. That will come in time. Enjoy your sleep tonight Hannah. You deserve the REST!!!!
