Surgery cancelled
Due to a very, very, very low grade fever surgery was cancelled. The first time they took her temperature it was 100.7 and a half hour later it was 99.3. Mind you she was a bundle of nerves, which in turn made her physically sick. I knew she wasn't really sick but there was nothing I could do. Emily frequently throws up when she is very anxious. They agreed that the throwing up was due to nerves. The surgeon still said no because of the fever. After coming home and we all started talking we suspected that it was just a bit of dehydration. A combination of not being able to drink in anticipation for surgery and throwing up this morning because of nerves she ran a bit of a fever. After coming home Emily settled down and once she ate and drank she was fine. I took her temp several times and and it was between 97.5 and 98.1, far from a fever. Emily is perfectly healthy.I am quite upset. I wish that they would have thought through it more before sending us home. I called the surgeon's office and explained everything. The nurse said that she would contact Dr. Hermann and call back. Well they never got back with me. This only added to my frustration. I can't believe that we are going to have to go through this again. After surgery being cancelled the first time due to the surgeon's office scheduling mix-up and now this I am emotionally spent. I can't imagine having to go through this all again. This past week has been so stressful and full of anxiety for both Emily and myself.
