Shunt or not shunt? That is the question.
Our whole house has been really sick the last week. First a stomach virus and now a cold plus congestion. Well, we can get over it, but Katie? It's a constant question... is she just sick or are problems happening with her shunt. Yesterday Katie started to look real sick. We talked and decided to try to let her sleep it out. With a fever of 102 most of the day and through the night we found ourselves still questioning. She's the most confusing sick kid ever. Well, she developed definite pink eye through the night. Still with a 102 fever this morning we decided to call our doctor..... seriously, we are so grateful for him. Because of the kind of child Katie is and because of the kind of healthcare she has he sent us to the ER.
In the ER for several hours we learn she has another middle ear infection and for sure pink eye. No CT scan today. She is keeping food down and according to the ER dr. not "toxic" looking yet. We see our doctor first thing tomorrow.
The good news... the VERY good news.... no one seems to badly concerned that is her shunt.
We got an antibiotic and stuff for her eye.
We are on the mend.
And through it all Katie smiles, through tears and uncomfortable grunts and cries, she still can smile sometimes.
