Val had her first chemo treatment a week ago last Friday and had a pretty good week until this Friday.
Late on Friday afternoon she spiked a quick fever that got fairly high. In addition, the lab work she had done earlier that morning showed her white blood cell count was way low.
As a precaution, she was hospitalized on Friday evening. They have taken various cultures and are working to see if she grows anything interesting. The cultures take up to 48 hours to grow, so we have been hanging out at Spectrum this weekend.
Her fever has been up and down so I am glad they are not taking any chances. She has kept her sense of humor though because as we were getting checked in last night she says to me “we had been talking about having a weekend away”…… Not my idea of a romantic weekend 😄

Prayers continue, I am glad they reacted so quickly, with the very low white counts, infections can come on quickly.
Thinking of you all and praying for positive outcomes.
