Hello to all of Claire's Team,
Claire was admitted to Sutter on Sunday evening to due to fever. We were hoping it was just a viral infection which would have allowed her to return on Wednesday. But as it seems to go when you are fighting cancer, the results of her blood culture were positive for staph. We were still hopefull for an early discharge as Claire's blood counts were ok. Over the past few day's her blood counts have dropped to a point requiring product transfusion and she has experienced a few other complications along the way. The blood culture's continue to come back positive for infection and now she has become neutropedic (low white blood cell count: 500 measurable cells or less). We will hope for progress in the next few day's.
Please continue to pray and think positive for Claire.
Thanks for the continued support.
