[tri-med] Doctor's Request-please respond

Hello,

Brianna's doctor has asked that I write to our support groups to see if any 
other children with Trisomy have gone through what Brianna is currently. 

Last Friday, 8 days ago, Brianna came down with a fever. Her fever has run 
from 97 degrees to 105.2 degrees. Up and down, constantly throughout the 
whole week. She has been vomiting,
had diarrhea, 
had a barking-like cough 
and been very tired...and of course cranky!

The doctor has been teetering between, "Wait and see if it is a virus," "Is 
this because of her Trisomy?" and "Should we admit her for testing"?

My question is, what does her Trisomy have to do with up/down by the hour 
temps?

Oh yeah, the doctor also says that a temp that stays elevated is not as 
concerning as one that is so sporadic

I will be looking forward to any responses. Thanks, as always, YOU GUYS ARE 
GREAT!
