Yes, tonight, after two horribly long days receiving a high dose of chemo, Andrew developed a fever high enough to mandate that he be admitted overnight. This is a blow. He hasn't been feeling great, with a slight fever for the past few days. But only tonight did it rise above the 100.5 threshold. Most likely this is a fever caused by his body interacting with Ross's cells (the graft) and this is a good thing. But because Andrew has no immune system now, they want to monitor him closely to be sure this isn't an actual infection.
So, pray that we all get good sleep tonight, that his fever drops, and that he's back in our apartment soon. Thanks so much!
Sunday morning - we just read your email and am praying that by now Andrew's fever is down and that you both had a good night's sleep. You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Joyce
