Greg spent the night in the ER in isolation. As you might expect, not at all restfull. They had a fire drill 4 different times!! The pts stayed put, but lights flashing and alarms going off. Like a bad nightmare! His fever spiked as well and he got the shakes. About 9 am they moved him into a nice room in a general area. He had some problems w the IV line and when the nurse injected some anti -nausea meds, Greg about started crying it hurt so bad and red lines started traveling up his arm. Well THAT had to come out, and then they put in another PICC line. They moved him again, so now he is in the Oncology unit and getting better care. I guess to make up for the night in the ER, he has a huge room with couches and comfy chairs. His fever spiked again tonight to 101.7 and right now he is on his second bag o' blood for transfusion. His doctor did finally show up after noon and said he probably will be released Sunday. Thanks for all your warm wishes, I passed them on to Greg.

Well, glad to see a room opened up and hopefully, the transfusions and fever are over with and all this is behind you guys. Sure no fun.. I remember. I feel pretty confident that the worst is over.
Hugs and prayer and thoughts and crossed fingers from here! hehe
Blessings, Pat

I hope Greg is doing better. You are both in my thoughts.
That emergency room experience sounds awful!
I know from first hand experience how it is to be in the hospital on IV antibiotics with neutropenic fevers. Indeed, it is no fun at all!
Hope Greg is able to go home soon!
Sincerely,
Vincent James
