Still in Stanford

Well we are still here in Stanford. They were hoping we would be discharged on Saturday but that was not the case. Jillian's numbers have continued to drop and her ANC is now at 26. Since her numbers are dropping they want to continue to watch her. They are afraid that she may have caught another virus when she had the flu and her immune system was suppressed. So she is still on antibiotics as we wait for her counts to rise. Going a bit stir crazy here since today was the first day she was even aloud to leave the room. Because she tested positive for the flu b virus she had to be quarantined in her room from all other patients. Since its been a few days and she was on tamiflu and basically shows no signs of the flu anymore they have aloud her to leave her room masked. So we went in a long walk today. I am hoping that getting her up and about with some exercise will help get her numbers up. She had a lumbar puncture today to get chemo in her spine. Everything went great just like her past procedures. She is starting back on the chemo she had to take a week off from. We are happy to be getting back on the treatment plan but a little worried it will effect her numbers more and then we will be stuck here longer. We usually can ride out nuetropenia at home but since she had a fever we have to stay till her number start going up. We don't even need to reach 500 this time. They just want to see some progress. Unfortunately her numbers are going in the wrong direction! Send Jill all your prayers to help get her home.

Daniel has been able to be here with us for a few days. William has been staying over at my moms. I think he will be going back home tomorrow so he can watch William for a few days before he has to go back to work. I was looking forward to Daniels week off since we don't get to spend that much time with him and this week off was spent inpatient! We are lucky to be able to have him up here for a few days at least. This is only because I have amazing parents who watch William for us. Jilly is holding up as usual. By the looks of her she does not look sick enough to be here. She has been entertaining herself watching movies and playing on her iPad. I have been buying her kindergarten activity books to keep her mind stimulated. We're not sure what next year holds for her as far as school goes but I want to make sure she is ahead of the game if she goes back to school. She's so dang smart she probably won't have any issues! It's not fun trying to make a four year old "study" but she is doing a good job. I will try to post more when I can. My blogging is starting to slow down because there's not all that much going on. I will keep everyone updated on when she can go home! I hope everyone had a fun Super Bowl Sunday. We watched some of the game, there are a lot of niner fans up in this area. It's been nice resting and rebooting but I am sure ready to get back home!
