Negative Infection Check

June 22 Alanna caught a little bug.  Her White Blood Cell count was low so her immune system was thought to not be able to handle it.  So with a barely fever and some vomiting her doctor sent her to be admitted to the hospital Saturday night.

The ER tried to treat her as if she was an adult and I was not pleased.  They scared her and her heart rate went high and they kept testing her for sepsis.  They put her on a general antibiotic.  She did have a slight fever when we first got there (100.7) but after the initial fever she never had a fever again and she didn't vomit once at the hospital.  They made us stay for 48 hours while they waited for all of her blood cultures to come back to make sure she didn't have any infections.  After 48 hrs we were good to go.  It wasn't fun but we were thankful we had decided t.o stay in LA that particular weekend because just checking ourselves into UCLA was so much better than being driven by ambulance from Goleta.

This experience has taught us that we will be spending the majority of our time for right now in LA rather than going home to Goleta.  We'll be back someday when Alanna's health allows it.

That weekend we also had some fun with some cousins. 

I couldn't seem to get her to wear the Moana dress with the Moana wig but maybe she will someday :)
