Snowwhite 0 #51 May 31, 2006 Have they/are they testing her for CMV? Had a nephew do just what she is doing for about a couple of weeks, in and out of the er. My sister finally insisted on the test, and that's what it was..skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mailin 0 #59 May 31, 2006 It may be parainfluenza - its common in young children in late spring/early summer. There are 3 different types - and they present with fevers and congestion - does she seem to have a cold? A simple blood test can tell if she has it or not. It took 4 days to get the results of my daughers and by then the fever had broken and she was just congested (on the mend in other words). This is what put my baby in the PICU this last time - they almost had to intubate her and put her on a ventilator again There were 3 other babies that had it there too... Can't hurt to ask...

mailin 0 #63 May 31, 2006 Thats exactly what my daughter had - bronchiolitis, which is what parainfluenza type 3 causes. bad news is that there is nothing that can be done for it, but at least the time to get over it is less than 7 days.

swedishcelt 0 #66 May 31, 2006 I hope baby is well soon!! There are few things more stressful than the wondering game with fever and baby. I hope she feels better soon, poor angel. Is she more comfortable yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #67 May 31, 2006 CMV is a secondary virus that most of us get as kids when we have something like a really bad cold or chickenpox or something. My nephew had a small cold but every afternoon his fever spiked, he would nearly pass out, and three times his folks had to take him to the er. Finally my sister asked how much the CMV test was, and they said "oh he doesn't have THAT!" but she insisted on the test, and he DID have it.' At least they finally knew why the fever was spiking.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

micro 0 #74 May 31, 2006 hey yall... a little more improvement, a little back to her old rambunctious (sp?) self. still in the hospital though, at least through tomorrow. Some funky shit growing in her urine culture they say. won't know exactly what it is or how to attack it until tomorrow after it has grown and festered a little more in the lab. the doc is concerned that someone so young has such a nasty UTI, rare for a 15 month old, usually seen in a toddler who is learning to be potty training and is not a good wiper. We're religious about changing diapers and wiping, so thati's not the issue. Doc thinks maybe still an outside pathogen or a inherent kidney defect. Had ultrasounds of kidneys and bladder done this morning and more antibiotic shots today. that's helping. they're shipping her to either st. louis or springfield for additional testing of her kidneys probably next week that they can't do here in this rural hospital. if she doesn't completely respont to injectible or oral ABs, they'll give her an IV regimine of antibiotics which will require a 10 DAY hospital stay. That will SUCK! But, Cecilia is much more playful today, that's good. Today is also her mother's birthday, so we just had a little party in the hospital room w/ cupcakes and all w/ the other kids. Dilla was very very happy to see her three older siblings. More later... thanks again for the vibes and prayers. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...
