There are many reasons why we homeschool. One of them being a flexible schedule. We have been grateful for that over the last month. Our youngest caddie in training has been under the weather. She has ran an unexplainable fever off and on for a while. We even spent one night at our Children's hospital. Now our children's (Cincinnati Children's) is supposedly one of the top 3 in the nation. We unfortunately have not had good experiences over the last decade when we have had to deal with them.
Anyhow, we found ourselves (our daughter and I) at children's for a night. During the night the team of doctors and nurses ran tests and came in the room every few hours to monitor her vitals and fever. What you would expect from a hospital, right? Then in the morning we were shocked...we were sent home and told that there was nothing found. We were told it was a virus. Viruses don't hang around as long as her fever has nor do they come and go like this. There is no explanation whatsoever, that they have been able to find so far. A trip to the pediatrician again turned up with we can't find anything wrong. She looks healthy. We are to call the infectious disease department at children's tomorrow.
"We don't know what is wrong with your child", is probably by far the worst thing that you can be told at the moment. It is scary. Probably not as scary as a diagnosis of Cancer, but the unknown is scary.
It is all in the hands of our heavenly father, I know. I have added to my prayers that God guides the doctors to find what is wrong with her. She is such a trooper. We have had about 15 blood draws, chest x-rays and a blood transfusion and most of the time she takes it like a trooper. I am sure that she is getting tired of it all. I pray that we find the answers/cure soon. As for now we take our schooling with us when we can. One of the benefits of homeschooling and trust that God is guiding the doctors into the right direction.
Blessings,
