Fevers and Cultures
The CBC came back. His hemoglobin is low but not "too low" but his ANC (white blood cells that fight infection) are zero. Then I noticed that he was warm to the touch and asked the nurse to take his temperature. He was running a low grade fever and they rechecked an hour later. Fever was a touch higher so they ordered cultures to see if Logan has an infection. It will take 48 hours for the cultures to grow. In the mean time he will get antibiotics as a precaution. He looks like the feels... terrible, and has been sleeping for hours. I hope that he sleeps the rest of this day away and tomorrow he feels better.

My heart goes out to you and your family - especially Logan. I did not know you were all battling this horrible cancer. Logan sounds like he has his mom's zest for life. May you together defeat this monster. Mary
