It seems that we are changing our focus. The blood culture is proving negative for bugs so now we are trying to determine the source of the fevers. There is a fluid build up at the base of Jack's lung that was evident from the ultrasound that they did this morning. They were checking his liver and kidney but those look fine. He is going to have a cat scan tomorrow to give a clearer picture of what is going on. This may be the fever source.
WBC continue to increase - now at 5.5.
RBC is 3.08 even with the blood yesterday so there is work to do.
Platelet count is up to 50.
Quiz answers for jac: 1. c, 2. a, and 3. b
Jack has not been feeling that well today and has been asleep for most of it so I was left to my own devises for this update other than his opinion that it SHOULD be updated every day! c

Dear Jack,
I love you, miss you, and wish I could be there to give you a big hug. When you get better, we'll come over and play cards, sit in the hot tub, and eat at LaPas. Of course, you'll have to listen to all my bulls**t, and we'll drink Corona, and you can play the guitar and I'll sing really bad. I can't wait.
Love,
Mary
Hey you guys -

Uncle Jack,
I just wanted to tell you I LOVE YOU! I hope when you read this your feeling a little better and know that I'm praying for you everyday. I just know you'll get over this hump.
Hi Jack and Cheryl,
I hope your counts are doing better today and that you are using your breathing machine.
Still think about you all the time - I enjoyed the phone call yesterday. Terry & Stacy said hello.
A little something I read:
During trying times,
know that you are not alone.
Please don't feel as though you
must face life's challenges by yourself.
Your true friends are with you
every step of the way, cheering you
and lending a hand should you stumble.
Never be afraid to call or ask for help,
because you have returned the favor countless times.
Remember that strength is in numbers and together we can conquer anything.
Love you.
Deb
Cheryl/Jack - Hope can often be found in unlikely places - still praying for both of you. No quiz this time, just some stuff I kind of liked:
