Last night Anya complained of a headache so we took her temperature as a precaution against masking a fever before giving her Tylonol. She had a fever of 100.5 so we called her doctor who requested we take Anya to the emergency room. At the emergency room they took her vitals & did blood work.
The ER doctors did not detect any infection and her blood counts were in good shape so they sent her home at 11pm. The doctors are also doing a culture on her blood and if it comes back clear they will assume the fever is a side effect of the chemo. However if the culture comes back with growth, Anya will probably have to return to the hospital for treatment and her chemo will have to be delayed.
So we are asking God to cause the culture to come back clear and for Anya's fever to disappear.
