Back to Moffitt for a couple of nights

Things are going as expected.
This time the expected was a bit discomforting for Carol.
Yesterday she developed a fever of 101.3 (need to report to the Moffitt clinic if over 100.5).
The nurse I spoke to asked me to bring Carol to the clinic for some blood work and other tests. Good reason to stay at a nearby apartment.
They were all prepared for Carol's arrival by the time we got there with one nurse immediately taking care of her. Several blood tests and various analysis were done within minutes of arriving. They also started her with antibiotics and hydration via IVs.
Results from the blood test came back all clear of infection, so the initial determination for her condition is called "NEUTROPENIC FEVER". The reasons were not immediately identified. Basically, her cells are fighting against the donor cells and until her white counts start to rise it's normal. Carol was then admitted to the hospital for a couple of days to keep a close eye on her, until she is without a fever for 24 hours to be able to go back to the apartment.
Doctors always said to EXPECT some signs of the transplant progressing and showing some signs of GRAFTING, which means the new stem cells are propagating AS EXPECTED.
So we are now back at Moffitt until fever free.

The lighter side.
Thursday afternoon our friend Jeri took a ride to visit and after a little yoga she cooked a meal for Carol. Daniel was here and helped getting the needed supplies for the great meal she prepared.
See Jeri in action (sorry Jeri for the poor angle/we need to do better next time).

Saturday will be a great day because Alexia is flying into Tampa at around 6PM and staying with Carol until Thursday morning. We hoped to be back at the apartment by the time Alexia arrived but Carol is still running a temperature of 101.3.
I will keep you updated.
