Long story short: we went to get Brinley's chemo today and during the LP she must have inhaled some mucous or something, because she woke up hacking again and sounded really awful. We went back upstairs, got her chemo and after a 5 hour clinic visit finally went home. Only to get home and realize she had a 102 fever. I rushed back to clinic, within an hour it was at 104. It was very scary, she looked very bad. They did a CBC and her ANC had gone from 1000 to 9000 in one day. The onc didn't like that, so they decided to admit her. She was breathing double time, and he didn't like that either, he wanted her fever down so he could see if she was just breathing that way because of the fever. She is getting a chest x-ray and we will see later tonight what that looks like. It has been a bad day for everyone. Lots of juggling and figuring things out and breaking more plans. By the time I left to come home to grab some stuff for tonight she looked a lot better and her fever was down to 101.5 with Tylenol. Pray that it goes away and she can come home tomorrow. Everyone is struggling and we are torn in 10 different directions. I'll update tomorrow.
