Fevers and Frustration

We ended up in the hospital agian last night and are still here. Madeline was running a little bit of a fever and since that can be a sign of infection we brought her back last night, and we are still here. There is no other evidence of an infection but her blood counts are low, so we are doing blood transfusions in an effort to get those counts up, to help her body fight potential infections but also to get her ready for her next round of Chemo, which is tentatively scheduled for Monday morning. Madeyis resting well and feeling good so we hope we won't be here much longer.

On a happier note, the Fairfield Girls basketball team won their semi-final game in overtime on Thursday which puts them in the championship game this Wednesday at Davis High. We are so thankful for the support Madey's teammates, friends, coaches, and others have shown her and our family in this trial, it is very touching to know that the girls aren't just playing to win they are playing for her.
