Aaaand we're back...

I can't say we weren't warned...the inevitable has happened again. We are back in the hospital because Olivia developed a fever on Monday night. She also started coughing on Sunday morning with a mild temperature at 99.9. At that point I knew it was only a matter of hours or days before we she gets admitted to the hospital again. She didn't seem weak though and she was still able to go in the backyard to play for a little bit per her request. The weather was nice and I wanted her to have fun before she gets back to her "hotel'. Her temperature went down and was fine and active throughout the rest of the weekend. 

When I told her that she had a fever last night, she broke down and cried and kept saying she has a fever and she needs to go to the hospital right away. When I told that story to her doctors, they were amazed and said she's the only kid who wants to go to the hospital. I think she's so mature for her age. At not even 3 years old, she knows to follow doctors directions when she gets examined. She understands that some things just need to get done. Recently I started explaining more things to her too. She has to fast everyday for her oral daily chemo at home and it prevents her from drinking her pediasure, which she loves, whenever she requests. I used to try to get away with it by saying Daddy needs to buy more, etc. That didn't work though so I just explained to her that she cannot drink yet or else the medicine will not work. Then she stopped asking. She understood. Smart girl.

Here she is hanging out with Dad at the ER waiting to get admitted. She had chest x-ray done and results were good. She also tested negative from RSV virus. We got to our room at 2am Tuesday. She was wide awake and so Mom and Dad had "Early" breakfast at 3am with her. 

Now we just wait to see results from her blood culture. She was scheduled to get chemo today and the doctors decided to still push through with chemo. 

Here she is saying thank you to all of her supporters!
