LOW White Count

Hi all
Today my WBC was .5--last nite my temp hovered at 99.8---
Had platelet transfusion, saline, 975 mg of Tylenol and Benadryl....got a shot of Neupogen---temp went down from Tylenol, but current temp is 99.1.....
@7pm EST

This is the LOWEST my white count has ever been without being in the hospital...tomorrow I need 2 units PRBC.....hgb 7.6 today

Other than the typical neutropenic precautions, any advice? I do not want to end up in the hospital before I can get to see the doctor about the clinical trial this weekend...
Thanks!
