It is a no go today. Gabby has a perforated eardrum and there were also no rooms in the PICU so we would have been canceled even if Gabby was healthy.
We came down to Milwaukee last night and go here around 7:00. Got Gabby fed as much as we could to try to top her off before she could no longer eat. We took her temp about 500 times yesterday, and it never hit the 101. When we got to the hotel and were putting her to bed I noticed her ears did appear to be draining a little and kind of knew then that this would not be happening. Anyway, got to the hospital and she had to put on a little baby gown (cute, yet really sad at the same time!). They did all her vitals again. She was at 100.5 for a fever. When they looked at her ear they knew right away that it had ruptured and the surgery would be called off. It is to risky to have the ear draining when they will have incisions right next to it. I guess the bone is at risk of infection and that is not good. So they will look at the surgeons schedules to try to get us in as soon as possible. That said, it will still probably be another month. That really sucks. Ok, better get on our way home.
