Countdown to Spring Break

Jack had his blood draw today along with his monthly oncology visit with Dr. Bowman from Cook's Children's Hospital. Jack's ANC counts are a bit low at 928. Last week I posted that Jack had a fever and has some other sinus stuff going on. He has been on a strong antibiotic all week to help that get better. There has been a little improvement every day but the illness is holding on, which means to me that it is probably a virus and not a bacterial infection. A virus will generally bring your immune system counts down. That is probably what is going on with Jack. He will continue with the antibiotic until it runs out, but I kind of think that if this is a virus it will just run its course until it is gone from his system.
Jack can still go to school, one more day until Spring Break vacation!!!! Yeehaw. So he will have one more week from today until his chemo starts up again.
All is well other than that with Jack. We will have family in for the next week and enjoying to the fullest the special time with them.
Blessings,
Tammy
