It's one of those days

That moment when you are so tired from crying and you fall asleep sobbing

It's been a rough morning with Olivia today. She has been fever free for more than 24 hours now but is still being monitored carefully. She was very irritated and uncomfortable this morning that it took a couple of medical staff to help me calm her down. I'm glad she is relaxed now and has actually asked for food!

Good news is that preliminary spinal tap results showed no signs of infection. Her white blood count has normalized to a number that's expected from a chemo patient. However, because she showed elevated white blood cells in her spinal fluid and blood earlier this week, plus the fever, the doctors are being extra cautious of any possible infection. It is possible that she is showing no signs of infection now because the antibiotics is working. That being said, we are told that we need to stay here until she finishes her 7-day antibiotics treatment. We are also still waiting for more test results to come back which may take up to a week. Her scheduled chemo tomorrow will also now be put on hold until she is done with her antibiotics.

For now, we are just trying to make her as comfortable as possible. We are hoping and praying that we will be home for Christmas next week!
