Sleeping peacefully

Summer's fever was 101.4 about an hour ago. So, more Tylenol for her. It has been up pretty much all day. The few times it was under 100, I think maybe it was not in the right spot under her arm. Usually she lets us take it in her mouth, but the past day she has preferred her underarm. Not sure if that is because she doesn't want to give up the thumb or because maybe the sores in her mouth are hurting her. The sores are from the Vincristine, I believe. I have been trying to get her to swish a few times a day with the mouthwash they gave us, but I still haven't gotten the recommended 4 in.

I believe the only thing she ate today was what I mentioned earlier - a few bites of candy bar. Not sure if that is due to nausea or mouth sores or what, but she is not acting hungry. The only thing she has had to drink is a few sips of water. Thankfully, the IV is keeping her hydrated.

They also did another blood culture since she is still running a fever 24 hours after the first culture. So far the first one is negative. Yay! But, she is still not feeling good with the fever hanging around so I am curious as to what is causing all this. Of course, we may never know for sure.

I hope she sleeps tonight. She has slept almost all day, except for probably 4 or 5 hours. They said that her fever will eat through her platelets so I imagine she will need more tomorrow. Who knows what the new day will bring? I'm hoping for a playful little girl, but I will take whatever I get. I am just so thankful that God has allowed me to mother this wonderful child. She is truly a blessing from above!
