I took Ellie into see her peds dr again this morning about her digestion and fever issues. He could not find any logical reason for the fevers or her tummy issues.

However, Dr M did say that our clean out with the Miralax may have done the trick. He is so happy that we are using half the Miralax that we have been having to use with her...

There was no sign of infection, her ears, nose, throat, everything clear. Her tummy was soft, great bowl sounds, and talkative tummy. Pushing on her tummy got some gas moved around and to release. The relief for Dr M was that he did not have to send her Baltimore and recommend admittance to figure out what is going on. He is very puzzled as to what is going on though.

His main recommendation is to ask the GI/ENT team if her test results indicate chronic inflammation and those results are an indication of chronic or are a reason for reoccurring or underlying fevers.

We also are not sure why her energy levels are so up and down. One day her energy levels are normal and she plays fine and hard like her friends. Then the next she is totally wiped and has minimal energy.

Saturday she was able to go out with her brothers and sisters and dad on the archery range and learn about archery for a few hours. Afterwards she played with her friends in the neighborhood. Yesterday she was wiped and exhausted. Slept off and on throughout the day. Today she is still exhausted and had nap this afternoon. She has spent the day resting on the couch. Hopefully tomorrow she can attend school again.
