Piper Update 6-14

I guess that Swine Flu is, like, a real thing now. At least the WHO has kicked the warnings up a notch, and there are people that we know of, who are infected by it. As a result, Reagan’s friend who flew all of the way out here from California, was only able to meet Piper for 10 minutes. When Reagan and her friend first arrived at the hospital on Friday, they were flat out denied from seeing Piper. The staff stated that the Swine Flu precautions has prompted a family only policy until the threat diminishes. Only after several minutes of sobbing and begging, was Reagan able to convince the staff to let her friend in to visit.

Because of all of this, we weren’t able to see Piper at all on Saturday. Sunday, when we visited her, Piper was not feeling too hot. She was running a fever and had an elevated heart rate. She also puked a couple of times. The puking isn’t very out of the ordinary for Piper. But her fever had us kind of worried. Her nurse had the doctor check her out, and they started Piper on some meds. They also took some cultures, etc.. The cultures, btw, came back negative for influenza (phew!). We are hoping it is nothing. She was a pretty wiped out little girl the whole time we were there, though. She did crack a couple of smiles for us, before we left. Such a little cutie. A couple of more pics, can be seen here.
