Surgery postponed!

We arrived at 6:00 AM this morning only to be sent on our way this morning. Kortlen had a pulse rate of 185, respiration rate of 44, 91% oxygen reading, and 101.6 temp. Her only normal vital was her blood pressure! They did get the oxygen reading up to 98% so that was reassuring. The rest of those not so great readings can be attributed to the fever. So, Dr. Hunter said to get on out of there and reschedule for a later date. He also suggested that we see Dr. Austin, which we did and you guessed it, a virus! Probably the same virus that Kerrigan had during spring break. Oh, well, we will get it done eventually. I am going to call Monday to reschedule. Thanks for the prayers and I will keep you updated!

Crazy side note...turns out that last year on March 20, we were having tubes put in Kortlen's ears, she started running fever and got a rash, and had to head over to Dr. Austin's office after surgery that day as well. Kinda weird, huh? Same day! At least last year we got the surgery done first!
