Morgan woke up feeling really horrible this morning. She was feeling nauseous and was having incredibly bad jaw pain. She headed in to Children's Hospital for her appointment and to have her blood drawn. Once the results became back from her bloodwork, they confirmed that she needed a blood transfusion. The doctor also gave her some morphine for the pain in her jaw.
A little while later we where told that she had spiked a fever while at the hospital. Therefore she needed to be admitted and put on an IV antibiotic. She will be staying at the hospital for a minimum of two days. She has been feeling nauseous and has been experiencing quite a bit of pain all day long. They have been trying to manage her pain with morphine but it doesn't seem to be helping as much as it should. She is unable to eat anything at this point because her mouth is too sore.
Carsen and I think she may have some sort of infection in her mouth which caused her to spike a fever and causing the pain. The doctors have not expressed their thoughts on what it could be as of yet. I think they are just waiting to see if the antibiotics help with reducing the pain in her mouth over the next two days.
Hopefully she will wake up feeling a bit better tomorrow morning.
