Tessa update

We don't know too much.

It is not definitively a virus. It may be, but it may not be.

The WBC and CBC is all normal. Her CRP is elevated to 18.9 (normal is 0-0.5), her polys are slightly high. I have little idea what this means and I'll be researching it online in just a second.

The doc said that there wouldn't be much benefit in taking her to the hospital at midnight, so she's arranging for us to check in tomorrow morning. Tessa will get a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia and "other things" and we'll go from there.

I am trying very hard not to over-react. I am also trying hard not to throw up from the anxiety.
