Well, here we are again. Finished with Methotrexate and Maggie has spiked another fever. We are in the hospital waiting for the Methotrexate level to leave her system (and after less than 24 hours after finishing the chemo drug, it is almost completely out of her system, which is faster than usual). So, chemo won't be holding us in the hospital, but instead most likely this fever. Maggie is already on an antibiotic from the last fever, so they have started her on another one. The nurse told us that Dr. French seems to think this might be a viral infection since she was already covered on antibiotics. Whatever it is, we are getting pretty tired of it. With the last 3 chemo drugs, Maggie has spiked a fever each time. I'm becoming pretty good at predicting her fevers, which is not a good skill to have.
So, please pray for Maggie-- that the fever might clear quickly and that it might not be a bacteria again. Please pray that if it is a virus, the virus will leave her system quickly.

Whitney and Andy i am sorry for the frustrating event, another fever.It seems like it has been a rough emotional weekend. Maybe this is why she slept so well, her little body fighting something new. At least she was able to get her treatment on time. it seems common to get fevers and such with chemo, or at least that seems common for her :) I wish i had great words of comfort, but i am praying for you, that this fever will quickly be diagnosed and treated and you can return home.
you are in my constant thoughts!
