Good report then a trip to the Er....

Last Tuesday we met up with Dr. Nieto (stem cell Doc) for the first time since J was sent home from the hospital. The good news is J is still in Remission, his blood counts look great, but his liver is apparently damaged. Not as in he needs a transplant or anything, hopefully it is something that will heal itself over time. The great thing was that J did not use a wheelchair at this visit. HE WALKED everywhere. Of course he was insanely tired afterward but he walked. He then started running a slight fever on Wednesday night but it did not go high enough for us to take him to the Dr. Then there was no fever on Thurday, but last night it got up to 100.8F which means a trip to the Er for us. We went and got in really quickly, they did blood cultures, an chest xray, and a nasal flush thing. All signs point to a virus but they are sending him home on anitibiotics just in case. He was also a bit dehydrated they had a crazy time getting blood from him and his veins are okay still Ive stuck them! He is tired and is resting. I am going to email Dr. Nieto assistant on Monday and see if we need to come in this week for a follow up or not. Thats all that is happening in our neck of the woods. Never a dull moment in this househould! Prayers Welcomed! Kimmy
