My brother's a fighter

I'm posting again for Jack and Cheryl. Jack is holding his own. The doctors think they know which blood borne infection he has and are giving him the antibiotics to fight it. He is still in the hospital and will be there until his blood counts rise. The doctor said he looked a lot better today than yesterday. Thank God!

Cheryl is amazing and is keeping the hospital folks straight. No one in the room without a mask, no apples or bacteria laden food on the plate and stuff like that. We can't afford any mistakes right now so it's good to know she's on the job.

Still praying hard.

Thanks, Mary for the daily updates. This is the first thing I check when getting in at night. I'm glad news is better. Cheryl is the best and I'm happy to see you are here too. You really are the worlds best sister!
Give him my best, let him know we are praying for him constantly, and are patiently waiting to hear from him personally that he is ok!
Take care!
Love, Jeanie
