She's 21. Went to doctor about a week ago because she had a high fever. Tested for strep and came back negative. They call back 2 days later saying she in fact does have strep, so they give her antibiotics. Started feeling better. Then Friday comes around and her fever gets up to 105, can barely walk, hives/rash, joint pain, so we rush her to hospital.
Friday evening they diagnosis her with rheumatic fever(which apparently is rare cuz they had all kinds of doctors and medical students coming in taking pics)Give her antibiotics. Body doesnt respond
Saturday morning comes around still high fever and aches everywhere so they put her in icu. Run all kinds of test and cultures and everything keeps coming back negative. Put her on all kinds of antibiotics and her body just wasn't responding. Fluid started developing in lungs and around heart. Kidneys weren't functioning like they should. Started discussing organ failure.
Gave her some steroids, and temp came down, blood pressure back to normal but still can't figure out what's causing infection
It's been a roller coaster of emotions. Yesterday the head doctor actually used the words "getting better" which was a huge relief because she never really gave any positive news. She always basically just said that "they are doing their best."
Then around 12 today, the doctors come in saying her lungs and heart have fluid around them again. Gave her another dose of steroids. Did another scan(forget what it was called) about and hour or so ago and the fluid around her heart is gone and her lungs just have a little dampness in them.
Still waiting on some cultures and a skin biopsy, but up until now they still have no official diagnosis, so they can't really treat it. They have discussed valley fever being she recently made a trip to Arizona to watch lsu softball, lupus, septic shock syndrome, toxic shock syndrome. Just wish they could find something. It's been the most difficult week I've experienced. She's sleeping now and all her numbers look good, so there is some positive news.
