A Bit of a Set-Back

Dr. Carson and Dr. Vining planned to move Jessie to Rehab today at Kennedy Krieger Institute, but she had a significant fever, so they decided to keep her until they could figure out what is causing the fever.

There are several possibilities, however, fever is common after this type of surgery.

So we're not sure when Jessie will be headed to Rehab. In the interim, She will doing Occupational Therapy and Physcial Therapy here at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

On the positive side, Jessie ate and drank very well today and had a nice long wheel chair ride.

I must admit that WJZ-TV Baltimore (CBS) covered today very well, so I'll direct you to their website tonight, and I'll get to bed early tonight. Thanks WJZ for the great coverage and for letting me get a little extra sleep tonight.
