Update on Sophie… Ive been getting lots of phone calls and text….On Monday morning my daughter complained that she was not feeling well and threw up all over her bedroom. I went to work Tuesday morning for OT and when I came back, I found out she had been on the couch all day and she ate very little. I called her out of school and decided first thing Wednesday I would take her to the doctors. Wednesday morning, she woke up and could no longer walk. We went to the doctors, and I literally had to carry her everywhere. They did X-rays and blood work. When we got home her fever spiked to 105. I got her fever back down and was trying to wait for the lab results when her fever spiked again to 105. I took her to the ER Thursday morning she came back positive for an infection. Thursday night they transferred me to TMC Childrens hospital they took her into surgery last night and withdrew some fluid from her hip. This morning they told me her hip has gone septic and they would need to open it up and drain it out. They also said that the virus causing all of this is MRSA. The virus has entered her blood stream and her bones have absorbed it. She just got out of her second surgery. Unfortunately, because the virus has entered her blood stream, she will be on an IV for around a month and a half. When they opened her hip to flushed it out, they placed a drain in there until Monday. Tomorrow they will take her back and place a PICC line in to adminster the Antibiotics over the next month and a half. I will update you as soon as we know more. She is recovering from hip surgery and in a lot of pain. Thanks for all the love and support.
