Back in hospital

Elizabeth had been in the hospital since Wednesday night. She has been fighting an ear infection since last weekend. On Wednesday afternoon, she spiked a fever to at least 40.4 C (about 104.5 F). We found out Wednesday that her blood draw from Tuesday showed low ANC counts. The 2 together meant heading to the ER Tuesday night and getting admitted. The original plan was to get out today if her blood cultures were clear after 48 hours.
Then a different attending came on for the week and now it is "policy" to wait until ANC is above 200 to go home. Right now she is down to 90, so it may be a while.

Try to update soon.
Dad.
