We're still in the hospital. The doctors still don't know for sure what's going on. It's either the chemo (but, according to Kaplan, would be weird if it is based on how this has played out), or a strange infection (but everything they are testing for is coming back negative), or some kind of colitis. Colitis is basically inflammation of the colon. From what I understand it comes in many forms and is caused by many different things. It sounds like they're going to do a colonoscopy tomorrow to biopsy some spots in the colon and confirm this. Colitis is treated with steroids, which means we can't just start treating it (like they did with antibiotics) because if it's not colitis the steroids could make everything worse.
Thanks everyone for your support! I can't say that enough.

P.S. On the bright side, the view from floor 12 is pretty kick-ass...
