"Greater Than 100.4" is a powerful reflection on the intense anxiety that even a slight fever can bring to immunocompromised individuals. More than just a number, 100.4°F is a threshold—a signal that something could be seriously wrong. For those with weakened immune systems, a fever isn't just discomfort; it's a potential emergency, a sign that their body may be fighting an infection they cannot afford to battle alone.
 
This piece captures the weight of that fear, the urgency of uncertainty, and the relentless vigilance required to navigate a world where a simple fever can mean hospitalization. It speaks to the unseen struggles of those for whom health is fragile, offering a poignant reminder of the invisible battles waged every day.
