Day 25

Just when we thought the drama was done, Peyton was just admitted back into Dell Children's Hospital.

Last night, Peyton showed unusual discomfort when being held horizontal, then vomited. Rayna called the on-call nurse and got an appointment for first thing this morning with a pediatrician.

At the Ped Office this morning, Peyton had a 100.1 fever, which was a one-way ticket back to Dell. Arriving at Dell, the doctors found two infections: one where they cracked open Peyton's chest, the other where one of the chest tubes was inserted. Before starting antibiotics, the doctors are running some cultures so that they don't have to blast her with too many drugs.

Saving the biggest concern for last, the admitting doctor is consulting with the surgeon to determine if Peyton needs to be reopened (read as another open chest procedure) to totally eradicate the infection.

Again, coveting prayers.
