back to the hospital we go.............

Well it's been another long night with our Jen spiking a fever off and on all night. We finally took her back to emerg at 4:00 this morning and went through the whole routine again. They can't seem to find what is really causing the infection so they are admitting her and putting her through a slew of tests. Poor girl is very exhausted but still manages a sense of humour and laughs at our crummy jokes (or my singing). I put off my job interview until next week. I thought she would be happy to get me out of her non-hair for awhile but not quite yet. She started crying when I said I would not go yesterday and thanked me for staying with her. She is such a sweet girl. I will play the job thing by ear. The plan is that David will fly home on the 30th and go back to work and I'll stay out here as long as needed. She has her next bone biopsy on the 29th and we are praying for the best. Her next round of iv chemo starts the beginning of Feb but she will stay on the oral chemo for the next two years. I think her body is slowly getting used to it but it is very hard on her. Her doctor assures us that she will slowly start to feel better before she gets knocked down with her next iv chemo. We are hopeful that she can do this on an outpatient basis but we will have to see how she reacts. We all appreciate all the thoughts and prayers we are getting. Will keep you posted.
love from the parents!
