Our sweet Grace has had it rough lately! Sunday she came home early from church because she wasn't feeling well. She has slept most of the time since then. She had a fever around 100 so we gave her ibuprofen. She has missed school all week. Then this afternoon, she had a 103 fever, so Christi took her to our family doctor. Not only did she have the high fever, her blood pressure was extremely low. The top number was about 70. The doctor sent them over to the emergency room at Riverton Hospital.
At the emergency room they were worried about meningitis, so they tried to give her a lumbar tap, which was extremely painful and unsuccessful. They are not sure yet, but Grace will likely end up riding in an ambulance up to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake tonight. Second ambulance ride in a month for the poor thing! (Feeling very grateful for good insurance right about now.) And of course I'm on a business trip in Denver until tomorrow. Fortunately there was a late flight available, so I'll be able to get home tonight.
Pray for Grace, poor kid. She's been through so much.
We love you Graci!
Daddy

Praying that Graci does not have meningitis and that she just has the flu or some other virus. Thankfully this hasn't triggered another seizure. Praying you get home safe and boy do I feel horrible for her that they did a spinal tap. I wish they could come up with another way to do this test.
ReplyDeleteDoes she have a Horrible headache, vision not as good as normal and back pain, it hurts to walk?? These were my symptoms when I did have it in January. It is so painful. We will be praying for her to heal quickly!

ReplyDeleteSounds like the weird flu we had here several weeks ago. Lethargic, fever and just yucky. I'm so sorry! Sweet Graci we pray you'll be better soon.
