Apparently Willoughby has passed some tiny poops which is good, still not eating on his own just having the cc. Gunna give him the day on all the meds if not back to vet tomorrow I think.
Evelyn is still unwell still, we got discharged last night, they said we could stay another night but said if we wanted to try going home we could. Also said we could call ward for advice and also obviously come straight back if any problems. Told us we could use paracetamol as she's on the strong antibiotics but if fever doesn't go in 48 hours to come back for iv antibiotics. So we went home then she spiked the highest fever we've ever seen since original sepsis.. Whilst on paracetamol. Which is interesting after they said its unlikely she'll ever be able to spike a fever. Evelyn doesn't do anything by halves
I called the ward as they said to and the paediatrician wouldn't give advice as he hasn't seen her 
and basically said we have to decide whether to come back in or not.. Which isn't helpful.. It's not a straight forward thing to manage this. Anyway we gave more paracetamol a bit early and the fever did respond so we decided to stay home and go back if anything changed. She's got a really bad cough today, so we'll see, still has fever but it does respond to paracetamol.. Basically if any one thing happens we'll go back I think. I find this all so annoying though, her best friend came in to school with a cold last Wednesday. She caught it ofc then we end up in hospital 
it's just a damn cold stupid spleen!

Sending more vibes for you and Evelyn. That must be difficult, trying to keep everything so clean, especially with one so young. Is there any hope of spleen regeneration?
I'm glad Willoughby passed something, that's at least a start. I hope he starts eating on his own today.
