Monday morning Kennedy had her tests scheduled.

By luck (or misfortune? or happy accident?) they decided only to perform the bronchoscopy.  Of course, that meant she still had to undergo anesthesia and have a tube stuck down her nose – but it was one test, not two.

Overall the test went well.  They were able to get a good sample to test.

For the bronchoscopy purposes and getting the sample, it was required that they inject fluid into the lungs…of a CF patient.  This, of course, “could cause a low-grade fever.”

Low-grade my ass.  She spiked up to 103.6*.

In the end, it came down with Tylenol, snuggle time, and a good round of her [amazon_link id=”B005LAIHW2″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]favorite[/amazon_link] [amazon_link id=”B007MDB6L0″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]movies[/amazon_link].

Now she’s back to normal, at school, playing/fighting with her sister…and none the wiser.

Meanwhile Erik & I wait.

And wait.

And wait some more.

The test results could mean a hospital stay, a PICC line, a g-tube – any or all of the above.

Kennedy is blissfully unaware of the repercussions.

But Erik & I wait.

Waiting sucks.
