noon update

Emily is at the hospital getting some IV fluids and they are doing a blood culture and check for levels of ANC. She will get IV fluids the entire time she is there. They are also going to have her seen by a cardiologist, just because of the tachycardia. The Oncologists are focused on the recurring fever, but Tracy and I want the heart to be watched too. She's had the scans on the heart but we want an actual Dr. to sign off that she's ok.

I am heading up to get Haley and work from home this afternoon.

I am constantly thinking and praying for you and your family. Hang in there and don't get discouraged. You are at Stanford, which is one of the best hospitals in the country and you also have great Drs. who are helping you.

And Mom and Dad, please keep the faith. Know that God is watching over you and giving you strength in this very difficult time.

I will continue to pray for all of you.

Take Care and God bless.

Love,

Elaine Steffens Office

We hope that you get some answers today, it must be so very hard not knowing the cause of the fever and rapid heartbeat. All of you must be emotionally run down. We are thinking of all of you and sending lots of love and good thoughts your way.
