Ava is still running a fever although not as high as yesterday, the good news is that the Motrin/Tylenol combo is breaking it. She had her ultrasound this morning and it did show that her spleen is enlarged (not sure why). Her blood culture has so far grown gram-positive cocci - we are still waiting for the rest of what it is - it takes time to grow these things. That being said we aren't leaving the hospital just yet.
Austin hopefully will be butchering his goose today so that will be one less chore for him to take care of and for us to nag him about.
Erik and I are exhausted and just need a break - and to think this is just the begining!
Our lovely (sarcasm) Alaska weather is here and here to stay. It snowed on Mon/Tues/Wed - it dumped pretty good however it was nice and warm, well warmer than average. Yesterday and today however was chilly and windy (cool wind) so - yuck! Winter is here along with the dryness it brings with it.

Nichole - Thinking of you. Just so you know, my spleen was enlarged during treatment as well. My onco team at Northwestern said that was fairly normal with lymphoma, so I imagine with another white cell proliferation disorder it might be the same.
Much love to Ava. Stay strong.
