Jillian was admitted to the hospital on Saturday morning. She came home from college on Friday evening because she hasn't been feeling well and wanted to rest this weekend at home. When she woke up on Saturday morning she had a fever and looked very pale and run down. Jillian has a history of severe bleeding associated with ulcerative colitis. After a quick trip to the pediatrician she sent us over to the hospital for blood work and other tests. We've been here since.
They think there is something else going on besides the UC. Her fever keeps spiking very high 103 to 104 and they're searching for an underlying infection. At this point she hasn't really eaten since Monday or Tuesday and everything she does eat immediately comes out the other end so she isn't getting any nutritional benefit. In order to get her protein/albumin, potassium levels back up to safe levels they're going to need to put her on a feed tube tonight.
Prayers would be appreciated.
