Toasty with low counts

Emma got the thermometer to say 102.4 and I had the bag in the car by the time we got through to the nurse.

Her ANC was 100, so we are here. The threshold for hospital admittance is 500. At low levels like this, Emma can't fight off germs.

So far she has been negative for the common respiratory viruses on the panel that they ran. Her blood culture has not grown anything.

That is all pretty good. 

Her temperature won't go down on its own. She can have Tylenol every 6 hours, but by hour 5 or 5 1/2, she is pushing 104. Last night she got to 104.5. 

She is also acting pretty tired and grumpy, but she is in good hands.
