Tehilla had her blood taken and she had an echo. She had an xray at the doctor this morning. Everything looks great.
Our cardiologist and the doctors think there is a very low chance that Tehilla has endocarditis. (Que an applause and many thanks to G-d).
HOWEVER, Tehilla has been in the ER twice in the past two weeks, on antibiotics twice in a month and seems to have a fever every 3 days. Everyone believes she is just catching every single bug and virus at school, but no one wants to take a chance and everyone wants this constant back and forth to the hospital and doctors to stop.
So they need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt what Tehilla has right now. There are blood tests for determining viruses that can only be done in the hospital. They have already started some blood tests. Tehilla needs to be off antibiotics for 24 hours for them to test against endocarditis.
They are admitting us until at least late tomorrow and watching her closely.
Refuah Shelaima!
