Emergency Admit

Jackson woke this morning with a fever of 104.1 and throwing up So we made a speedy trip to the hospital. He has already had two different antibiotics and also two bolus's of fluid to get his blood pressure up.

A fever for Jackson means a stay in the hospital for probably three days.

Platelets still are low (13) so we have to push off his next round of chemo until he recovers from this fever and until his platelets recover in their own.

Once his fever comes down he will get another platelet transfusion today.

This emergency trip to the hospital is stressful. I hope we don't have to do this again.

    I talked to mom and dad both on the phone this morning and I just kept saying, "I hate it! I hate it!" about that stupid fever. I sure do love you guys, though. Jackson is in very good hands (yours and PCMC's).

    Hey Connie!! I love you so much!! I know this is a hard time I just wanted to let you know how much you mean to me. I just love you and your family. This has to be so hard for both of you. I know thats an understatement. I am keeping you in my heart and every time I think of you I am brought strength and peace. I just want so many things for you. I love you and love you and love you and wish I could wrap my harms around you and squeeeze!!! Kia Kaha Friend!! Love and light Mandy

    Kia Kaha is a term of comfort or solace (an equivalent of be strong - my thoughts are with you)
