Drug Fevers

The doctors are more convinced that Barb's drugs (antibiotics, antifungal, antiviral, bone stimulant, etc) are causing her on-going mild (but very fatiguing) fevers. In between the fevers, she feels well and we go walking.

That is good news -- sort of -- because if they're correct, she doesn't have an infection. However, they do need to find the culprit(s), so she feels better and the bone marrow transplant team can make plans.
So, they are beginning a process of elimination - while still providing her the protection that she needs. Hopefully, we'll know more by this weekend.

    Little steps.......big strides. With Dr. D's help being a sleuth, a solution will be found. Stay strong Barb.

    Hi Barb, I am always thinking about you and hope this fever passes and you can get on with the process and go home to your family. My prayers are with you.
    Fondly,
    Rita
