Admitted to the Hospital

Abby had a slight fever today. The doctors asked her to come to the hospital for a blood test and check for infection. A fever of 100.0 or higher can be an alert of an infection. The danger is an infection in the port which is near her heart and can cause organ damage. As of right now, she is being given IV antibiotics and her fever is coming down. Doctors are running blood tests to check for infection. In addition, her white and red blood cell count along with her platelet count has dropped since yesterday. She is being admitted to the hospital now for a blood and platelet transfusion. This process will take approx 4 hours. She will most likely go home in the morning depending on how she responds.
