Short blog post updating y'all on my ER stay. Won't be fancy because it's hard to be fancy from an iPhone.
I was admitted yesterday because of vomiting, stomach ache, D, and fever. This started Saturday afternoon and continued to Sunday. We decided to go to the ER because of vomiting and fever.
My WBC ranges from .348-.5. Everyone muct wear masks in my room because infection risk is high.
The fever peaked last night around 102. It's hovering in the 99s now, on a steady stream of Tylenol to keep it there.
I had vomiting for the first time. Not terrible. Just a little throwing up. There isn't a ton of food in my system.
They tested me for c diff again, which I guess made it impossible to treat the D in the meantime. C diff just came back. Negative. Again. They are now medicating me, which may allow some sleep.
I don't really have an appetite. After the nausea / vomiting / D stop, I will need to think about food.
The dehydration is bad. I have been on a drip since arrival yesterday at 4pm. They just started me on extra fluids because I am still fairly dehydrated. All the electrolytes except potassium are okay. (Thank you nuun tablets.)
They have tested me for ... everything. So far, nothing positive. Wide spread antibiotics till we know more.
If all the tests come back negative, I will likely be able to go home tomorrow night. If tests are delayed or positive, will be here longer.
Will let you know as I know more. Xo
