The last week (?) Lyla has had a fever about once a day. Usually it goes down on its own by uncovering her. But last night she spiked a really high fever of 105 and the nurses haven't been able to get it lower than 100.5. Infectious Disease ( ID) was called to evaluate and more cultures have been taken; blood, urine, saliva. And we wait a couple of days for results and things to grow. Really hoping there isn't anything serious going on, but would also like some answers to whatever is going on.
When I arrived at the hospital, I noticed lylas breathing was slow and long. I mentioned to the nurse, and she said she would evaluate but I'm pretty sure she never did. When the night nurse came on I mentioned it again and she said that's the first thing she noticed. She was thinking possibly Lyla is dehydrated. Nurse is going to talk to Dr and probably pump her with some extra fluids.
Her average respiratory rate is 35 and it was around 17 today.
Heart rate high in the 170s, usually 130-150
