After doing so well following 'round 4' of chemo (Chris went to school 3 days last week and was eating like a champ), he crashed last Friday (5/1). He started running a fever and had to be readmitted to Wolfson. Over the course of the next couple days his blood counts dropped to near zero and temps hovered at 103, except for relief from Tylenol. So it's been nearly a week of unplanned time back on the 5th floor at Wolfson. Chris's blood counts (ANC, WBC, etc.) finally started to climb above zero yesterday and looks like his fever is subsiding, so hopefully he can go home by tonight or tomorrow AM. This unexpected visit to the hospital has been really draining and discouraging for both Chris and Patty. Please keep them in your prayers.
