Ok, so my doctor said if I have the chills to come in to the MDA Emergency Room. And I did. So my bro drives me over. I get there, and they tell me I shouldn't have gone so long with that fever - not good for leukemia patients whose blood levels are low.
So. Here I am. Back in the hospital with day five of low-grade fever. I am now getting some major antibiotics, platelets, and will need more blood tranfusions because my numbers are like non-existant and have even dropped more. I got two blood tranfusions last night, and will get more today. But my numbers still dropped. Weird that I feel so well for as sick as I am.
I am going to make this short because they gave me some benadryl (to stave off any potential weird reactions to the blood) and I feel drunk.
Yay for modern medicine. I'm grateful to be alive today.
I can do this.

Chicken soup. I heard it does something for your soul ;)
If you're bored in the hospital you could IM me. I'm bored at home with a sick child.

I know it is so weird! I felt great today and found out my counts are worse than they've ever been. So more shots, severely neutropenic, ugh! Think positive Deb, you must keep good thoughts in your head to keep you strong. How bout' Zoe's toothless grin :)
