White counts better, fevers worse

Neutrophil count all the way up to 1100 today, which is actually just inside the normal range. She is still receiving a daily shot to stimulate the production of white cells, and her other counts are climbing more slowly. Still, we'd probably be going home tomorrow if it weren't for the fevers.

Unfortunately, her fevers seem to be getting worse rather than better. She did have a few hours of lucidity in the afternoon, but otherwise has been pretty miserable most of the day (and night). Still no word on the cause; Dr. Loh suspects a fungal infection that hadn't attracted as much of an immune response until her counts came back. It's also possible that all of the medications she's on are contributing to the fevers, so they're considering stopping them one at a time and seeing how she responds. They're officially hoping her fevers are gone on Tuesday, and will probably give her another CT scan if they're not.
