Just a quick Update

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update to let you all know what is going on. Shortly after Mom, Patrick and I got home from the Hot Dog Fundraiser, Mom started to feel like she was getting a fever. She took her temp. and it was at 39.1C-she is supposed to go to the hospital if it gets to 38.5C. It stayed at 39.1 for a couple of hours and so Mom made the decision to go to emergency. Once they got there, Mom's temp. was taken again and it was still at 39.1C, so she was put in the pediatric isolation room of the ER. They did some blood work and cultures to get her blood counts to see if there was an infection or ???? The counts came back and her white blood count was at 0.1-not a number anyone wants it to be at. So they have given Mom two rounds of IV antibiotics and she is currently waiting for a bed to become available in the Oncology unit.

I will update more as we find out whats going on.
