Emily is in a private room at Packard hospital. She isn't feeling great but her condition has improved. Her fever is on and off, it just came back after being gone a while. They are not monitoring her heart but I assume the rate is still elevated. There is a questionable spot on her chest x ray that they are following up on. In the ER they were worried, but Dr. Link doesnt think it is something he is too concerned about.
We asked how long she will be in here and his best guess was 5 to 7 days, but it really all depends on her ANC getting above 500 and her blood culture results.
On the postive front she still has a healthy appetite, I made her some rice at home this morning and brought it in, she ate two plates full. I also stopped and got her a creme filled doughnut which she devoured immediately.
Tracy and I are very concerned but not as scared as we were last night. This is just part of treatment. Dr. Link and ALL the doctors we have spoken with are amazed that this is our first hospitalization due to neutropenia, it just happens and %70 of the time it goes unexplained.
I will update later today if there are developements, for now I feel like they have her stabelized. We just all hope her fever stays away and the antibiotics continue to be effective.
