Day+ 21: Fevers Down and Smiles Up!

Last night Kal was very restless. For the whole night, he had a fever that would go up and down. Finally, around 6:30 a.m., I think he was just tired of trying to sleep and was up for the day. While getting his vitals this morning, his fever even creeped up to be 39.2. All we could do is to continue his antibiotics and Tylenol and wait.

Not feeling so great this morning... :(

He fell asleep while I was out at the blood drive and stayed sleepy for a good chunk of the day after that. Kal was asleep off and on from about 10:30 this morning until about 5 p.m. I bet he was just exhausted from everything. Also, I think his body was just trying to sleep off that awful fever. Because of the rough night we had earlier, I decided to get a good nap in, too. During his nap, Kal also got another platelet transfusion.

Kal was playing "Mr. Sleepyhead" most of the day.

Apparently all of the napping worked though, because the last time he had a fever (at 38.1) was at noon today. Woohoo! Fingers crossed and prayers that he won't have another fever that pops up!

Finally waking up from his nap a little...

Daddy (Jonald) came to visit Kal after he got off work. Kal was really happy to see him! Jonald was teasing that Kal's fever went down because he finally got some Daddy snuggles. Hehehe. Whatever it was that made his fever go down, I'm certainly glad it worked! Kal was mostly back to his old self again chatting it up, smiling, and kicking his feet like the silly little baby he usually is. It was great to see him like that! How come he saves all his smiles for Daddy, though, huh?! Haha oh well. I guess Kal is just tired of his 'ol mama and missed his sweet, fun daddy. (;

I'm so happy Daddy came to see me!

I always save my best smiles for Daddy, hehehe.

During the evening, though, Kal threw up 3 times. Granted this is still a whole lot less times than he was vomiting over the weekend, but it is still something we need to watch. It's perfectly normal to still be gaggy and throw up a few times a day after being discharged from the hospital. But, the fact that he had been doing so well not throwing up earlier today as well as yesterday means we need to keep and eye on it.

Thank you for all of your prayers!!!
