Waiting for Gracie

Gracie was admitted to the peds unit at Valley Care last night with a 101.4 fever. Its standard to have an infant Gracie's age admitted to the hospital for tests when they get a fever over 100.4. They have taken blood, urine and did a spinal tap to test for bacteria infection, etc. Results look ok so far but it takes about 24 hours for the cultures to grow. Gracie will be there until at least Wed. They have the fever down now and she is eating and sleeping OK. It could just be a cold, but at this age they really need to rule everything else out. Kim spent the night there last night and Olivia, Sophia and I went over there today to visit. Olivia really wants Gracie to come home from the doctors. She set up camp next to Gracie's crib for nappy today. Ah, sister hood, its not all pushing, biting, and taking each others toys. We will keep you up to date.
