Hospital Stay

Hi this is Heather, checking in for Valerie. She has no internet at her hospital and feels horrible not being able to post on her blog, so here is what she told me to type, give or take.

" I started having a fever Saturday night so Heather drove me to the ER where they admitted me immediately as my fever continued to grow. I have some type of infection and with such a low white blood cell count, they wanted to keep me in the hospital on antibiotics as a precautionary measure till my white blood cell count started to rise again. They say it usually bottoms out 7-10 days after chemo and thats exactly where I am at. So Tuesday is my hopeful release date, i have no fever anymore and am feeling much, much better. I slept great last night, unlike the few previous nights and my white blood cell count is on rise. Things are looking good, Im feeling good, dont worry about me. I will check in when I get out of here. "
