The One From The Hospital...
So after waiting for hours in the ER I was finally admitted at 3:30 am this morning. I was sooo tired. I still am. Anyway, I'm here at Emory doing my sick thing. :) I kind of feel like I have the flu. All achy, sore, and fever-ish. I have a cold so I know I'm fighting that. The blood cultures haven't "grown" anything yet which is great news. That means so far no infection!!! I'm on IV antibiotics and fluids to help keep my fevers down. We aren't sure what's going on, so the doctor wants to keep me a few days for observation. I'm trying to stay positive. I am very tired these days. I don't know what has happened to all my energy. I think someone stole it... I'm pursuing what leads I have. Thanks for all your prayers. My brother has been so helpful with keeping this blog updated. I have a hard time with that b/c I get so tired so quickly. That is why my posts are so short. :) Ya'll take care. And enjoy the rest of the weekend.
E.R. Visit
(Joshua reporting):
Brianne is back in Atlanta for the weekend, and she decided to spice things up by running a fever. She has not been feeling well all day, and if she gets a fever she has to check into the hospital, so right now shes' getting checked in at the ER and will be whisked away to the E wing for observation, medicine, and being awakened every hour or so by the nurses.
Pray for her as she of course didn't want to be hospitalized again. Pray that the infection isn't serious, will not cause a major setback, and that she'll be back at the Hope Lodge soon.

Home for a Few Days
(Joshua Reporting):
Brianne came to Macon Wednesday and will be here until here appointment on Friday (tomorrow). She's been doing well as far as feeling sick and being sick, but this week she's just been very tired and not well but not sick. While not having fun, it's better than being sick.
We met with the doctor on Tuesday and discussed what's the plan and here it is: Brianne will have another bone marrow biopsy on Monday (the 5th). They will continue to monitor her counts to decide about chemo and the transplant, with Brianne likely getting chemo sometime the following week (the 12th-16th). The transplant is tentatively schedule in the 1-2 month window, again depending on her blood and what it tells them.
Again - be in prayer for her spirit, health, blood, and that they can do the transplant soon.
No real news or anything big, we're just waiting and will be doing that over the next few weeks.
