New Years Day

We are in Cook's it is almost 1pm on Sunday. We rang the New Year in last night walking from the ER and put in our room. Jack is doing fine, the iv antibiotics are helping him. That sore on his tongue is probably what spiked his fever. Because his body doesn't have the ability to heal itself right now, it is causing some trouble. He most likely bit his tongue in the night, and then woke up with fever because of it. We could be coming home today or tomorrow, wait and see is where we are at right now. Jack is not really eating or drinking anything much, so I am glad that we are here so he can be getting fluids. I am sure he was close to dehydration last night. Until his tongue feels better, it will be a struggle to keep him hydrated when we go home. His counts are at 200 ANC as of today. Slowly creeping back up. They are still in a dangerous zone, but atleast they are growing. Thanks for your prayers for Jack and we will post from home or here tomorrow. Jack and Rob say hello.

4:50 pm As of right now I think we are going to stay another night. I think it is a good choice. Glad to be here where he is getting better. Rob and I are getting plenty of reading done, and Jack is a master at the Scooby Doo game on gamecube in his room. Ah the life of a sick kid.
There is this very cute 3 or 4 year old boy, no hair, totally bald, with a Bob the Builder carpenters apron on, he is riding a 3 wheel scooter thing around the halls screaming at the top of his lungs. His dad and a couple of nurses have encouraged him to lower the volume a little, but no go. I think he is hilarious. Where else can you ride around on slick shiny floors, hooting and hollering, living with Leukemia, and have people let you have the run of the place. A children's hospital is about it, or grandma or grandpa's house too I guess. I find him very cute and amusing and he can scream as loud as he wants as far as I am concerned. Blessings to you.
