Monday June 8th.....8:40 PM

Had a good day today a bit weak but good.

About 5PM her temp started rising. It was 100.3. We called the clinic and spoke with the nurse. The protocol is always the same. If her temp ever gets to 101.5 we go to the EM at Emory. Right now it is 101. She is sleeping.

This always scares me. I check it about every thirty minutes. Got all the bags packed and ready to go.

As I have said before, when she's there I miss her. When shes home I'm scared. Her condition can change in minutes. She is not allowed to take anything for fever like Tylenol etc. It would mask any other infection. That's the problem. She can't take anything here to reduce the fever.

Will keep you updated on the outcome of tonite.

10pm update...Dad went ahead and took Charmaine back to Emory to check on her fever. It went up to 101.7 so they wanted her to come back to make sure nothing else is wrong. Hopefully they will check her out, the fever will come down, and she can go back home...we will update tomorrow
