Home Sweet Home - and a fever scare

Home - what a great word - what a great place.

We enjoyed staying close to home yesterday - only venturing out to get the oil changed in the car.

Later, Mom and Bob brought over dinner (yummy!), and we hung out playing the Wii. We noticed Alex didn't eat very much, and lo and behold - a fever - again.

We took Alex's temperature probably two dozen times with three different thremometers over the next hour, as we contacted the Doctor to see if we needed to back to the Emergency Department (ED) since his ANC was only 33 the day before. Luckily, Alex's fever stayed just about at the tipping point, and the Doctor said we could stay at home. This morning, the fever is gone. - Whew!

Today, we ventured out to get the car washed, and played with Alex's new kite out front. No fever still - we are in the clear for another night!

As Eric said last night - we had one more night at home, and are one day closer to his cure!

  1. Just stopping by to see how things were going. I've been thinking of you (I had lost your web address. I've been a little scatter brained lately). I'm sorry to see you've had a hospital stay and low ANCs. But, yea for the massage, BINGO, and sleeping in your own beds!
