Fever

John was supposed to start his long week today, but he ended up with a high fever late Saturday night.  The doctors have told him that if he ever has a fever over 100.5 to head to the hopsital.  We called the on-call doctor since it was the middle of the night and he said we could just go to the ER in Provo.  We went to the ER and they ran tests and couldn't find the source for the infection, so they admitted us.  They gave John a few different antibiotics and within probably 18 hours, his fever finally broke late afternoon on Sunday.  Today he is still getting more antibiotics and they will let him go home tomorrow.  Huntsman will start his long week chemo regimend on Wednesday.

This whole hospitalization for a fever seems kind of over-kill, but really where John's immune system is close to non-existent, then it could be very serious.  We are happy that the fever is gone and that he seems to be healthy again.  Because this delayed his long week, then it looks like his week off of treatments will end on Christmas, which means he should feel pretty good on Christmas Day.  Usually the day before a treatment, he feels the best as far as nausea and fatigue.  So that will be nice for him to be able to enjoy Christmas Day.
