When you have cancer, things change quickly. At 5:30 pm, no fever. Gets her booster shot because her ANC was already low and by 7:30 pm she’s running a fever.
When you are receiving chemotherapy, temperatures over 100.4 for over an hour can be dangerous, even life threatening. So we were talking and I was explaining to her why it’s so important to be seen when she has a fever. I told her that we have to be safe and make sure that nothing is wrong. In typical Olivia fashion, she crossed her fingers on both hands and she started pleading to God to let her fever go down.
It’s really hard to make that judgement call when you know how much your child hates something. I took my time on bringing her in because I know how much she hates being admitted. Fully expect lab results to show she’s bottomed out on all counts.
Keep those prayers coming friends!
