Mackenzie's Latest Adventure

Well, Mackenzie has been in the hospital since Tuesday. She was up fussing alllllll night on Monday night and quit eating. We took her to the doctor on Tues and she had a fever and a high white count (meaning possible infection). So, we had to get admitted for a sepsis work up because she is still so young. (Better safe than sorry)...so she got a spinal tap, urine culture, blood culture, stool culture, and respiratory testing. Everything came back negative, but we had to wait 48hrs to get he final report. We were discharged this morning and she is doing pretty good. She has to take soy formula for about a week to let her stomach recover. I just have to watch her closely to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated from all her pooping and throwing up. It is much better now, so I hope she is on the mends.
