fever

Hi Birgitta,

Your site has good advice. My dad's WBC unfortunately dropped to 0.3 and he got a fever of 102.4 yesterday. He's admitted to the hospital now and getting antibiotics. He may get injections of Leukine as well.

He's pretty stubborn and tends not to listen to my advice unless I have the doctor explicitly tell him to do things, so maybe if I point it out on a website to back me up, he'll finally listen to me!

Thanks,
Steven
