Fever Chills


Kristi's fever curve is starting to go crazy. She's had a fever three times in the last twenty-four hours. Fevers initiate a protocol that involves immediate blood cultures from two sites on her body (meaning needles), urine culture, new anti-biotics, and a quick dose of Tylenol. She only has vitals taken every four hours, even with a fever, so the curve is fairly course in my opinion. However, Kristi strongly disagrees that her temperature should be taken more often.

Right now Kristi's temperature is spiking roughly two to three times a day. The last spike (about an hour ago) was 102.4F.

I guess Tonya just gave you the chills! You guys look so happy together! I'm so glad she was able to visit! :) Also, your chart sort of looks like a smile! ;) you just need to put two eyes in there.
