5-18-15 Still on Duty

Darin made the early morning call letting us know that Ashlynn had 101+ fever this morning.  Sarah was not feeling well either, not able to give proper care to Ashlynn.

Sarah has had a fever, and lower abdominal pain.  She has been convinced her appendix was acting up.  She finally was in touch with her family doctor and was told to "come on in."  I drove her to the office.

He, the doctor, sent her to Cape Radiology for CT scan.  The scan showed the appendix is in good shape but there is some inflammation in her colon.  

Next step:  appointment with a gastroentrologist Thursday morning.  

By the time we left their house Ashlynn was running out of energy.  I don't know if she will make it to school tomorrow.  She has been awakening at four a.m. with temperature spiking.  I know she will want to go to school as there is a field trip to a wildlife safari ranch tomorrow.  

Sarah told us her mother will come tomorrow if she is needed.  We will wait to see if we get the early morning call tomorrow.
