Jon and Geli headed into Children’s this morning and once they got her there, they decided to admit her.
They are concerned about a bacterial infection and are starting antibiotics while they wait for her blood to culture.
We are looking at least overnight for sure but more likely 2 nights minimum and then based on what bacteria grows or doesn’t grow, the options could be….she comes home with viral infection or she stays for a week or so or possibly 2 weeks or longer.
So, basically, she goes in today and then we have no clue about when she’s coming home.
They drew her blood to culture on Tuesday morning and I believe that it takes about 3 days to be able to tell what we are dealing with.
They did start her on an IV antibiotic and she’s had a reaction to it and so they’ve had to discontinue this particular antibiotic, dose her with Benadryl to stop the reaction and they will start a new antibiotic soon.
It’s so hard to hear that there are issues and problems and to not be there with her. It’s not like I could do anything specific, but it’s hard to be away from her…….its all so freakin’ difficult and stressful.
I’ll continue to to post updates as I hear.
Prayers that she’d be healthy and strong and able to deal with and fight off any and all infections and to be able to deal with the chemo and it’s side effects are so greatly appreciated.
Patti OUr love and prayers are with you Geli and Jon. Much love

Hey guys,
I saw Jon the other day at the church (Tues morning?) and I wanted so badly to go and say hello, hug him and pray for him and you all. But I have been fighting off a cold and I didn’t dare come in to see him.
My prayers and heart are with you all. Strength to you in the joy of the Lord.
Suseh
