Well on September 23rd Alicia came down with a fever after having a severe pain in the neck....hmm tempting play on words here...nah...too easy. We immediately thought of the possibility of Menengitis. Julie took her in and they did all kind of tests on her. She thought she was going to die. They did multiple blood samples, urine samples, gave her an I.V., MRI and an ultrasound, along with all the normal stuff. When Julie told her that she would have an I.V. when she had kids she vowed to never give birth...hmm...wonder if that will change...
Oh Well. After a 6 hour visit they thought she might have a form of hepatitis. We took her the next day for a follow up visit with her doctor. They determined that it was not actually hepatitis, but she does have a high level of enzymes in her liver and her spleen is inflamed. They are just calling it a liver infection.
She will have a follow up appointment this Monday to re-check the enzymes. We will wish her luck.

Good luck!!!!
I sympathize with you!!! I am so traumatized by IV's while pregnant that I carry my own lidocaine with me now just for personal IV occasions!!!
When I see you, I will share!!!!
Hope you feel better!!!!!
Sorry, I just got around to reading this tonight. No one told me anything about you being sick. Are you OK now? What did they decide? Oh heck. this is so old you probably won't answer me now. I'll call tomorrow and find out myself. I love you! Grandma
It was just a liver infection. She is fine now. She still has one more blood test, because the last one she took still had elevated levels of enzymes in her liver, but they are not too worried.
