up.and.down

Poor Claire is on a crazy roller coaster ride.  We're definitely spending the night tonight (Tuesday), and hopefully she'll be able to come home tomorrow.

She was doing so well this afternoon, and Meredith, Amelia, and I packed up Meredith's birthday presents and headed to the hospital.  Claire wanted to watch Meredith open her presents.  Grandma even brought a cake up to her room so that we could eat cake! 

As soon as we walked in, I could tell that she was getting ready to spike.  She starts shaking, gets pale, and honestly, she just looks pathetic.  Her temp was up to 104.6.  They gave her Motrin, then Tylenol a couple of hours later.  Her temp came down about a degree, and then they had her take a 10 mintue lukewarm shower.  She was not a fan of this!  She cried the entire time.  The best part was when she was back in her room and requested ice cream!  So funny.

Thanks so much for your prayers!  We appreciate them so much!!
