A Little Update

I haven't been updating lately - alot has been going on! It all started a couple of weeks ago with a trip to the ER. Macyn had 102 degree fever. They ran tests for Influenza A, B, RSV, chest xrays, and a full blood workup. Found out all the illnesses came back negetive, but her liver enzymes were elevated.

This then lead to a follow up appointment which resulted in referring her to a Pediatric Gastroenterologist at Sanford. After going to the appointment, she seemed completely healthy, but still had elevated enzymes. They ruled out the bad stuff (hepatitis) and thinks its either do to a viral infection, baby zantac, or a metabolic disorder. We are required to draw a liver function test again in 2 weeks to see where they are at. We then have a follow up in 6 weeks to do some more investigating, if needed.

Two days after this appointment she came down with a cough. We brought her in and found out she has RSV and an ear infection. RSV can be serious in little kids because it can block their airways or develop into pnemonia. We had a follow up appointment this morning and it seems to be getting better , but still have to look for some respiratory distress signals.

Sooooooo............that has been my last couple of weeks in a nutshell! I just want a healthy baby again! She doesn't really act sick too much so that makes it a little better.

...speaking of babies, Macyn has a new cousin (2nd cousin) born last night - his name is Tekoah! Can't wait to meet him, but have to wait until we are all healthy, of course!
