back at UMC for fevers and belly pain

Britney had more and more abdominal pain yesterday and today and has had a fever since last night so she was transferred back to UMC. She just didn't seem like her pain medication was working more than 15 minutes since early this morning, and I told the Dr. at Kindred that I wanted her back at UMC and he agreed. She came back by ambulance, and is comfortable back in the cardiac ICU at UMC. They are taking blood cultures and doing a CT scan of her chest, abdomen and pelvis soon after they give her contrast. Hopefully we will know soon what is causing her pain and fevers. I'll let you know when I find out.

  3. Hi John
    Nobody should feel sorry for going back to UMC it was the right thing to do. Finding the source of fever is key to her recovery. Kindred is limited but she should return there for the final steps of her rehab. Is going to be a long journey. Count on us always.

  4. Thank you so much for for all of your help. I think she just came to kindred a little too soon and I pushed really hard to get her back. We'll see you soon.
