We are going to retest to see if he is clear of the RSV to see if we can get Jack moving outside of the room - 2 weeks in the hospital has made him very weak. Physical therapy did come in today to work with Jack to start to build up his strength. Need more improvement on the oxygen front as well.
Jack has also had a combination of not eating / or losing what he does eat. We surely have an uphill battle still but on the bright side we are not dealing with any new issues. He will be getting some blood tonight since his red blood cells have dropped - his platelets are also low but since there is no bleeding, we are going to let that go a little and see if they will come up on their own.
It is snowing now so I may be a little later going in tomorrow morning. I am sure that will not be a popular move but it is going to warm up as the day goes on and it will end up as rain so I will have to see what the morning brings. That and my cold still hangs on but it is improving and is not even on the radar in the grand scheme of things.

Hang in there Cheryl - glad the cold is better! No snow here but it has been colder than this past weekend...we all were hoping for Spring! Tell Jack not to worry we all still miss him at work...miss his calming effect! I have heard of lots of cards coming so tell Jack to get him strength up so he can laugh. Lots of well wishes and prayers for you guys...
Cher/jack,
Knowing that this is probably the toughest time, we all pray for a string of little victories over the coming days... Jackson, you know that we all are praying for your recovery, but we also understand that its very hard to see the bright spot in these present days... But its out there!
Let me be the first to wish you both a Happy VD...
Love,
Terry
