Still looking at #18

We are continuing our stay in the hospital.  We have been here since late Tuesday night.  So far, Eva has had five total seizures since Monday night.  She has been diagnosed with brocholititus (sp).  Her symptoms are random fevers ranging from 104.7 - 95.5, deep coughing, fatigue, loss of appetite, and irritated (mainly with the iv stuck in the top of her right hand covered with a Velcro cast).  Also after our third day at the hospital, whenever someone she does not recognize as family comes in the room, she immediately starts to cry.  I think she is tired of the medicine, rectal thermometers, cold stethoscopes, and breathing treatments.  I must say that I am ok being here.  I mean where else can you have 24 hour medical attention, room service, and talk to random people that have to temporarily and unconditionally love your child for a maximum of ten minutes at a time?  I am thinking we will be out of here tomorrow night - maybe - at least those are my hopes.  My bed at home is missing me.
