Update 9/28 :: new robot

So last night was a little bit rough again, mainly because Imm's fever kept coming back every couple hours.

You may remember me writing about her port—"robot"—giving us some trouble. Well, Imogen started complaining again during the most basic of checks. For some kids, it's normal, but she's never had an issue with antibiotics going in or the line getting flushed. So, we asked them to get her a new "tail." It was not a pleasant experience, to be sure, but we noticed an improvement right away. It looks like there was a very slow leak that stung every time something went in.

Imogen's blood counts dropped again, so they're giving her a transfusion now, and monitoring her platelets and fever. We'll be here at least through tomorrow. If her fever persists, they might start getting more aggressive with it on Monday, with different medicines and body scans. The hope here is that her counts will go back up, which should boost her immune system, which should stop the fevers.
I'll keep updating as we know more.
