Flown in to UCSF for third time...

Saturday, October 1, 2011 8:42 PM, PDT


for those of you who don't know, abigail had a fever tuesday morning and was flown to UCSF because her white blood cells were low. she was put on two different antibiotics given blood and the next day was playing and acting her old self. she spent 3 days in the hospital with no fever. so they let her go to family house till her appointment on monday. so far she still has no fever and they don't know why she got one, nothing grew on the cultures, so maybe just a virus. she starts chemo again on monday, her 3rd cycle. we will go home on monday and finish chemo at home. she is doing very well, little side effects from the chemo. the hope is after her 3rd cycle her blood counts will start to come up, possibly 4th cycle. but soon we should see some positive numbers. i know we will. she is just full of energy, and feels a lot better. receiving the blood also helped a lot. her heart rate was very high while she was sleeping tuesday morning, a combination of her fever and low hemoglobin, which was 7.9 on monday dropped (with fever) to 6.9 so her heart has to work harder to pump oxygen to her blood cells. all of her numbers were up on monday and dropped with the fever. it is so crazy how things change from one minute to the next, literally. thanks to everyone who prayed. love you all
