Emergency Room and her Binkeez Blanket!

Friday we spent the evening in the ER, 7pm until about 11pm. It was pretty quick and I'm so thankful for that. Presley's been sick with something and finally fevered again to the point we needed to take her in. She had not had a bowl movement in over 6 days. Poor girl, her belly was so uncomfortable. She didn't want to eat or drink much. Port access was hard. No EMLA creams means they had to use a cold spray. She screamed and was very upset. These ER visits really set her back emotionally to all that she is forced to do. She then endured the dreaded nose swab test for the flu or virus. These are very painful and scary for her. After that was time for a belly x-ray to role our any bowl blockage.

Sad and sick eyes

Still smiling!

Our set up for the night

Amazed that she is always smiling. Chap lips are always better after you get a bag of fluids!!!

The blood work came back good (Phew, a sign of relief) I was even dancing to "Brave" a good sign that Mommy's nerve's were calmed. Her ANC was 2900. That was also good news, if it had been below 500 we would have been spending the night. The X-ray showed no major blockage. This was another tender mercy. An NG tube placed down her nose to clear the blockage was going to be the ultimate. I wondered if she would ever forgive me for that. That is not a fun procedure for kids or anyone for that matter.

With her new personalized Binkeez Blanket. It is her "Presley" blanket. We now carry "pink and brown" and her new blanket that was donated to her. Its the softest blanket ever! Thanks so much Binkeez!

So with enough white blood cells, no major blockage and positive for a nasty upper respiratory virus they sent us home.
The virus is hitting her hard. She continues to be up and down from the effects of chemo. When shes up, you never know shes a cancer kids. When shes down it scares the heck of me and is not a gentle reminder of whats continuing to be present in our lives.
Thank you for all the love and concern for our little Presley bug! Another hospital visit. Tis the season of sickness. I pray this season we can stay as healthy as possible. Sick Presley causes so much commotion at our house.
