Just a quick post because it's late, but I wanted to let everyone know that Brinley was admitted to the hospital last night because she was having a low-grade fever, and when we took her in to the ER they did her blood counts and her ANC had dropped from 500 to 200. It sounds like they are concerned about a virus. Since she skipped the chemo this week, they expected that number to be on the rise. It had been on it's way up and they just want to keep her to see why the sudden drop. They don't seem too alarmed, so I expect it won't be a long stay, they are giving her antibiotics right now to fight it in case it is some kind of a virus. The interesting thing is today has been the happiest she has been all month, she was laughing and talking in the hospital, so I'm not TOO worried yet, but I'll keep everyone posted. I think the standard is at least 24 hours in the hospital for monitoring, so we'll be there until tomorrow night (Friday) for sure, depending on what they find out. I came home for the night to be with the kids, and David stayed with Brinley. Please say a prayer for her today that all will be well! Thanks!

Kristin and David- I am so sorry about all of this. I know you guys can do this! I just was thinking about you guys when we used to come over and play games. She is an amazing girl and she can do this. Your family is in our prayers. If you need something let us know (I know we live far but we can try!) Best of luck. We miss you guys and wish for the best!
