Monday morning update

I am at home this morning. I just spoke with Jason, and he had an awesome night--PTL!! He slept well and his new pain patch is working great for him. We are seeing some very promising signs. Last night, we learned that they had started him on a third antibiotic. We are definitely going to have to get some acidophilus for him when he gets back home! With his steroids, it makes it much harder for him to overcome infection. Jason said they did not do any new bloodwork this morning. I know the doctor wanted to see his white count lower before he would release him from the hospital. Hopefully, with three mega-antibiotics, that will happen in the next day or two. Jason would like to go home today, but it might not be a bad idea for him to get the antibiotics via IV for another day or so, just to be sure, since I don't think the tablets would be as effective. We are praying that he will soon be home with no more complications arising.
