Sunday Night

Hi there. It's Rondi here. I just talked to Louisa and she asked me to post for her.
Reba was really sleepy today and had developed a small fever (100.4). Any fever is cause for concern so Louisa took her to the Emergency Room tonight per Dr. Xavier's request. She will be admitted to the hospital tonight so they can monitor her. She is on antibiotics and a saline IV. The fever is from her very low white blood cell count. They also took a lot of blood samples which they will use to determine which antibiotic is best in the case that what she is on doesn't do the trick.
When Dr. Xavier talked to Reba on Friday she told her she would feel worse before she felt better. So, I think she has hit that proverbial, "chemo wall".  It's time now to wear masks and gloves when we visit her and she can't have flowers or plants. She is very vulnerable.
Louisa said that, as usual, Reba is going with the flow with grace and a great attitude.
Lots of love to sweet Reba.
