He’s still spiking fevers, but they’re much lower and Tylenol is able to bring them back down quickly. The blood culture they took yesterday has been negative as of the 24-hour mark this morning, so hopefully it will be the same tomorrow and will mean the antibiotics have done their job on that front. He’s still having some upper chest/stomach pain from what they think is esophagitis, so they’ve been giving him anti-fungal med’s for that, but haven’t been able to completely knock it out yet…maybe by tomorrow.
His white cell counts are still pretty much not even registering yet just like last time, so we anticipate he’ll be there until Friday…just like last time. He’s got quite a few things to do this week which I’m not sure how we’ll do since he’s neutropenic, but I guess we’ll manage. He’s got an eye appt on Wednesday, an MRI on Thursday, and a Lumbar Puncture and possibly a upper GI scope on Friday…all while he has a weakened immune system, so please pray for safety in both the procedures as well as transporting him back and forth through the hospital to them.

Dear LeAnn, I am praying for all of you. It hurts to know what all you are dealing with, but I am so proud of you and your faith. Thank you for telling us the specific things to pray for. God's grace is sufficient and that is a promise you can claim. Love, Aunt Jan
