I just wanted to let everyone know that Hillary was admitted to the Hospital on Friday since she had a fever and her body couldn't fight off the infection or virus since she doesn't have many white blood cells (she's doing just fine today). She had a fever Friday and Saturday, going back and forth from chills to sweats, but the fever broke Saturday night and she felt much better today. When we got out of the hospital a month ago the Dr's said to not be surprised if Hillary had to be admitted at some point during the outpatient consolidation chemo process as it's pretty common. Her white blood cell count was near zero, but since we made it two weeks after she got the chemo, I thought we were out of the woods of the first round of consolidation chemo.... apparently not. I think maybe she just wanted all her meals served to her in bed and apparently I didn't do that at home.
They haven't given a specific time she would be out of the hospital, but they didn't think it would be more than a week. Since her fever is gone, I think we just have to wait for her white blood cells to rebound.

Hang in there guys. Know it's a bummer to be back at the hospital but one day this will be a distant memory. Enjoy the meals in bed, Hillary :) and we're pulling for those WBCs again!
