Feb 29th - In the hospital again

This week has been our family trying to get over sicknesses.  We also knew that Sarah's ANC was dropping, so we were trying to everything we could to keep her well.  Unfortunately on Wednesday afternoon, her temperature was approaching a fever 100.4.  This means that we re-check her every hour and watch it.  However, she also was complaining of pain when she went to the bathroom.  Jess ended up taking her to the clinic where they checked her urine.  It was the end of the day and they didn't check the ANC.  When Jess called the oncall after dinner to see the results, the oncall doctor said that even though the test was negative, they wanted to check her ANC and do blood cultures, since her temperature was still around 100.4.  So Sarah and I made a trip to the ED.  Her ANC was 206.  Since she was borderline fever and a low ANC, they admitted her, again.  We are in a room on the first floor, since the Hemoc ward is full.  We will talk to the doctors in the morning and figure out what the plan is for how long she stays in.  I am guessing that it will be Friday afternoon or Saturday before she gets out. 

Thanks for all those who are praying for us.  We feel the prayers and it helps to lift our spirits.
