Michael went to the H/O Clinic today for his weekly chemo dosage. He has been feeling run down and has had several bouts with nausea & vomiting this past week. After checking his blood counts they gave him his chemo but also stated his platelets were extremely low. All the other blood counts seemed to be OK for now. They sent us all to lunch and ordered platelets for Michael. Michael got very tired at lunch. When we returned they gave Michael some fluids and the platelets. He was showing a low grade fever so they decided to admit him to the hospital for further observation to see if he has infection of any kind. We got a room by 5:00 pm. He is very tired but resting comfortably. As soon as we know more about what they find in his blood work we'll update the website. He is currently in Cook Children's Hospital in Room 3005.
