Update From Heather

Hi all, it's Heather (again). Im checking in for Valerie because her hospital is lame and has no internet, but yes she was admitted to the hospital last night or early this morning shall I say (4am) when her fever reached 102. No one knows why, she feels great except for the shivers during her fever. She tried everything to stay home with cold showers and such but it didnt work, so to the ER she went.

I went and visited her this morning for a couple hours she is fine, just tired from a long night of being poked and prodded. She has her cell phone so you can still call her. Her white blood cell count was low and as were her potassium levels but they gave her some shots and pills to fix those. Her temperature and oxygen levels were well within normal range when I got to the hospital at 9am this morning but they want to keep her for 48 hours of monitoring and administering more antibiotic's. She is 9 days out of her last chemo session which is a weak point in her chemo recovery, so all of this is pretty standard. Nothing new or scary and unexpected.

Hoping she is home tomorrow and will update then!
