So I have been planning a trip with my 7 year old niece and my cousin and her two teen girls for June 25. I was able to get 7 nights at Riviera through my cousin's brother's DVC for $12 a point, so my cousin and I are each paying $750, which is amazing. We got all the reservations we wanted, including BBB. Everything was perfect. Just had to get through the end of the school year and we'd be good to go.
Well, on June 1 (Thursday) my niece was having dinner at my house and she started to not feel great. I brought her home and she seemed to have a stomach bug and fever the next day and was kind of run down, but seemed better on Sunday and participated in her gymnastics exhibition. The next day she came home from school and slept until 7 pm then slept until 10 am the next morning. She got off the bus that afternoon and seemed tired but wanted to go to the library and playground, which we did. The next day was ok until after lax practice when her fever was back. She went to the dr the next day. Negative for flu, c19, and strep. Dr said there is a virus going around lasting 7-10 days. The next day she was ok and seemed ok most of last weekend. Monday she had a fever again and went back to the dr for blood work to check for mono and lyme. Her white blood cells are high (along with a bunch of other tests). That same afternoon the dr wanted her back in for urine and a chest xray but didn't tell SIL what she was thinking, but when pressed she said she wanted to rule out meningitis. They went back in that afternoon and the dr set up and appointment for yesterday afternoon marked "urgent". They went but didn't get any answers, just that they needed cultures. Niece seemed fine yesterday afternoon. This morning when I texted my SIL to see how she was doing she said, "She went to school" which I took as a great sign. But when I called my nephew after school to chat with him about his day, he said niece came home from school early, so I texted ,my brother to see how she was doing and he just said "Not great". He said he still hadn't heard from the dr but she didn't have a fever.
At this point we have no answers and I am so worried about my niece. I did the worst possible thing and googled some of the test result stuff that came back abnormal and some of her symptoms (on and off fever, headache, swollen glands, lethargy) and I get results running the spectrum of common cold to cancer.
I just am frustrated and worried because we don't know what is going on with her and I don't know what I am going to do about vacation. Everything is paid for and because I am traveling with my cousin and her daughters, I can't just move those points to another date because they will still want to go. I will do whatever I need to do to take my niece when she is well enough to travel. I think I can take her off the plane reservation and use that credit for an upcoming trip (SW) and I have some credit so I could use that then as well. Some people are saying I should still go in June since it is already paid for (I have an AP, so park tickets won't be an issue for me when she can go) and it will be a good getaway. I can't make that decision until we get more answers, but I know I will be super sad to be down there without her.
Just so stressed. Thanks for listening.
