Sick - Not Sure What To Do

Adrienne started feeling lousy on Saturday so she thought it just must be the drug. By today, she was running a low grade fever and had abdominal pain, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, and achiness. She went to the clinic and they aren't sure what's going on yet, but she has stopped the drug for now. They ran a bunch of blood tests including a spot test for mono and did an abdominal ultrasound since the pain appears to be in her spleen. We'll have results in the morning. Needless to say, she feels bad and isn't able to get much work done. She has two midterms and a paper due this week so she's in a bit of a panic. The doctor's office sent e-mail to each of her profs asking them to be patient with her this week as she's trying to get the work done.

I asked the doctor a few hours ago if I should come out and he said to wait until tomorrow. I spoke to Adrienne awhile ago and the fever was a bit higher, just over 100. I'll keep checking with her tonight. Jet Blue has flights every couple of hours from Las Vegas to New York so I can get out there quickly if needed. Needless to say, I'm very concerned, hoping this isn't anything more than the flu but the abdominal pain and fevers are concerning.
