Emergency Room Visit

After a continued high fever this afternoon, Jace had to make an emergency visit to his local doctor and go to Madison Memorial Hospital for a blood draw and dose of antibiotics. I guess this is a normal part of the process, but Jace was pretty upset that he had to start over so soon after his Salt Lake hospital trip.  We received quick and efficient care at both places, and we have two more favorite nurses to add to the list. Jace came home accessed, which means his Port has a needle in it with a tube taped to his chest. He will receive another dose of antibiotics in the morning, and we will know if his fever is due to an infection, or the result of his discontinued steroid meds.


The good news is, Hayden came to the emergency room after school and escorted us all home to celebrate HIS birthday. What a trooper. Happy 11th, Hayden. We love you.
