We’re taking Kennedy into Riley in the morning (or tonight if she gets worse). The precaution of an antibiotic was too late. She developed a fever last night, and has been having bad coughing fits all day today despite 3 percussion treatments and two nebulizer treatments a day.

So we called again tonight. The doctor said we can take her to the ER tonight, or wait until tomorrow and just take her in when the CF clinic is open. For the moment, we’re opting to take her tomorrow. If she has trouble sleeping because of her cough, we’ll take her during the night.

Erik has called into work tomorrow and we are likely all four of us going up to the hospital in the morning (Denver will be in school). She may or may not be admitted. I’ll try to keep you updated. But tomorrow will be very long for the girls…there will be X-rays, a lung function test, and probably IV antibiotics for K.

Please keep her in your thoughts…we’ re hoping that we’ll be nipping it in the bud and that it isn’t too late…I’d hate for her to be in the hospital for Thanksgiving! As it is, we’re skipping family Thanksgiving to stay home with her.
