Well, the last day or so hasn't exactly gone how we thought...Wednesday evening she got a fever and had some bleeding issues so we've been watching her VERY closely...She called the doctor and they said to keep an eye on it but she didn't need to go back in immediately. By morning her temp was back down and no more bleeding. Yesterday she was very tired and no energy but not feeling "bad".
So this morning she had to go back to the doctor for more blood tests. (I couldn't take her so her friend Millie did)...I just got off the phone with her and they are keeping her at the hospital. Her blood counts did not improve. Her platelets went from 6 to 9(even with a bag of them on Wed afternoon) her WBC is down to .2 from 1.2 on Wed and her neutrophils are down to .00. So they are getting her prepped for a bag of platelets and 3 bags of whole blood right now, and I think they'll start her on IV antibiotics also. Don't know how long she'll have to stay there yet.
UPDATE***She will be in the hospital for the rest of the day and should be able to come home in the morning as long as her blood counts come back up some by morning. Her color looks ALOT better now than it did 3 hours ago, so I take that as a good sign. She is in isolation for now, back to masks and gloves in the room with her...and definitely no flowers or uncooked/unprocessed fruits and veggies.
