And...we're back!

We're back at the hospital again. It's just soooo much fun, we can't stay away! Well, that's not exactly it, but that's what we tell the hospital staff. :)

Last night Joella's temperature was up and down, but it went down right before bed so we decided to get a good night's sleep at home. This morning her temp went up to 101.0, close to the 101.5 guideline for admittance to the hospital. She also vomited twice and was just crying and shaking. The doctor on call thought it would be a good idea for her to come in for observation, and we definitely agreed.

I had not done a good job of re-packing hospital bags last night, so it's definitely only by God's divine help that our whole family was on the road at 8 a.m.--dressed and fed with all of our bags packed.

Joella feels pretty lousy right now, not wanting to eat or drink. Her last temp was 103.8. Her blood counts came back with platelets and hemoglobin at safe levels (she received transfusions of both yesterday), but her ANC is zero. So it's no wonder she has a fever. Please pray for comfort and healing for her. We're thankful for the wisdom of her doctors and that we're here right now.
