Back in the hospital

Well, last night Andrea started getting fevers up to 102.6. So, we ended up going to the emergency room. We were very conflicted whether or not to go because she still looked okay. It ended up being the right decision because we found out at the hospital her white blood count was almost nothing and her fevers got a little worse.

Once she got to the hospital her fever as I said did get worse, but after she calmed down quite a bit after got her meds. She woke up this morning and I thought she looked really good. Her mouth sores are bothering her a little more but Tylenol with codeine has been helping. She did have a bite to eat this morning and went on a walk with her dad. This is the best I have seen her in the hospital after being admitted to the ER. We are still waiting to find out if she did in fact have an infection, but, regardless, she is being given antibiotics to cover possible infections.


She is really doing quite well and is sitting up right now in a chair and talking up a storm. The entire time she was uncomfortable last night, the party and seeing her family and everyone yesterday kept a smile in her face. She wants everyone to know that the party had nothing to do with going to the hospital - it was just a result of her counts being so low. She and I also want to thank everyone for making yesterday such a great day for her.

Andrea, it was so good to see you yesterday. It was a great party. I'm going to post my pictures on my Flickr when I'm done here. I had to sit in a meeting all day so I just got home.
I'm sorry that you had to go back to the hospital. I hope that this stay is very short.
I heard that the weather is supposed to cool off just a little tomorrow and Thursday so maybe you'll be able to get out and enjoy your hammock. Take care.
Love,
Aunt Karen

lOve you Andrea, and am sorry to hear that you are back in the big house. Hopefully they will give you early parole. LOVED seeing you all yesterday. Family is really what it's all about. (ps, to my two boxing blogging brothers-can't we all just get along?).

Andrea, we're sorry you're back in the hospital but we know that things are looking up and we are thinking about you constantly. We're sorry we missed the party but moving back to indianapolis has made the budget alittle thin. We can't wait to see you again and hopefully soon!

Lots and Lots of Love,
Julie and Ross Fischer
