Pleas pray for us! Brooke has been running a fever and she has had diarrhea since Wednesday. We just found out that she has Salmonella. As you can imagine, we are very worried.
So far, she is drinking fluids and eating. When the fever is down, she is in a great mood. We just want to be sure that it doesn't get worse. In 4 days she has had about 40 diarrhea diapers. Not a fun thing to hear about, but now you know how serious this is.
From what we've read on the internet, it can turn deadly if blood shows up in her stool. I think she'll be ok, but we are anxiously awaiting the doctor's opinion. So far, we have only heard from the nurse that she tested positive.
Your prayers are appreciated.
UPDATE: Nerves got the best of my so I called a friend, Dr. Eric Spann. He said based on what we've been through thus far and Brooke's health that we shouldn't have anything to worry about. His guess is that we're already past the worst part. The overprotective daddy feels better!
