It's back!

Well, Grant's fever is back. It came back up just before Dr. Heym came to see him this afternoon. So they have taken another blood culture and given more tylenol. Dr. Heym was concerned with how high his fever got yesterday and the fact that it keeps coming back. The plan is to wait one more day. If his fever continues, he will have to have CT scans tomorrow to look for fungal infection, which will have to be treated with infection-specific medication. At this point, Dr. Heym said that he is not concerned that the leukemia is back b/c all of his counts are slightly improving except the ANC so it seems that his bone marrow is working. Please pray for no fever!
