Hospital again?

I was hoping to update you all on some of the things we have been doing, but I can't do that from the hospital room.

Calli was admitted today at CHOP. She has been febrile for 6 days straight and off and on since the 4th. She hit over 104 here today. She just got over a virus two weeks ago, and radiation build-up is kicking in big time right now. It took weeks, and is hitting her hard.

My heart is so heavy watching her struggle to stay awake...she should be swimming in the creek, playing with friends....this is not how it should be....It seems we thought we crossed over Mt everest, but it was only the first peak....

Please pray that her fever breaks, that they find whatever it is causing it & that she is able to rest.

Being back here on 3 South- Oncology floor, brings back to the surface many emotions, many
precious moments Mike, Calli and I shared those first days after her surgery....

Thank you for thinking, praying, and believing the best about our family.
