Fever, Fever go away...

Riley had another 4am temp spike of 101.8. Not sure why she only seems to spike at 4am, and the rest of the day she stays nice and cool. They weren't going to check her blood counts today, they saw no need since she is still running fever and we are obviously not going anywhere any time soon. The fellow (aka-doctor in training) that comes in bright and early in the morning had nothing new to offer us. We just have to let this viral whatever run its course. Today is the last day that Riley can receive the antibiotic Vancomycin, so they may throw in another one to spice things up a bit. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, everyone set your alarm clocks for 3:30am and start saying some prayers for Riley to not have another 4am fever. We are quickly running out of time to be able to be out of here by Saturday!!
Today also marks the 9 month anniversary of Riley being diagnosed with Leukemia. It truly does seem like the time has flown by...which is always a good thing. We are very lucky that she has mostly done so well with everything. I just hope the remainder of her treatments go so well, and continue to fly by. We are all so ready to be on the other side, looking back and reminiscing on this journey...knowing that everything will have gone how we want it.
