square one?

this is starting to get old…after having a great day yesterday, jennie was checked around 3am and had a 101.4 fever. the doctor was just in here and kind of outlined the possibilities and the ones that have already been eliminated. he startedd explaining something about the 5 Ws (wind, water, walking, something and something). i have a 6th W…whatever!

so jennie is going to go for another ultrasound/CT scan to check for blood clots in her legs or elsewhere that might be causing the fever to spike.

on a happier note, since the breast milk culture came back negative, she’s able to resume nursing which is great.

i think the most frustrating thing for both of us is the fact that jenn feels fine, the baby is fine, by nearly all appearances we don’t feel like we need to be here. but, i guess we do need to get this fever issue resolved before we go home just to make sure it doesn’t turn into something more serious.

hopefully we’ll have better news to report later today.
