I got a call from Holly last Wednesday that she had a fever and the doctors wanted her to go to the hospital since her levels were near zero. Unfortunately she was home alone with me in Baltimore and the girls in Chattanooga. Fortunately, Laura next door was able to get her to the hospital that night, as well as take care of Holly's new best friend, Boone. The girls were able to get home the next day and I was home the next day after that.
Her fever dropped, but her levels were very slow to fight back, so Saturday Dr Herzig gave her a "growth factor" shot that jumped her levels up overnight. She went from a 0.8 to 7.4 overnight (she started at a very low 0.3) and was sent home Sunday, after 4 nights. Normal range is 4.5 to 10.0
Currently, she's doing well, but still feels weak and drained.
