Dear Christine,

I doubt that appendicitis is the problem here. Of course, I can't examine her or order tests.

Do you know the origin of her septicemia (blood poisoning)? Did she have an infected wound?

Does she have a fever now?

Will she eat and/or drink?

No they said the second culture they did didn't grow anything. They told me all her blood work came back fine. She won't eat, and yes sometimes she says she feels like she wants to vomit...No infected wounds or anything like that, umm she does have a fever now.
