Sunday Afternoon

Today's labwork showed Jason's white count had dropped some to 15,000. This is still a little high, and hopefully the antibiotics are making a difference for him here. We are hoping that in the next day or two, he will be able to go home. They are also changing his pain medicine. This new one is a pain patch, which will be able to be used at home. His new doctor does not like the old medicine and never uses it for his patients. I can't remember the name of the new patch. It is a synthetic opiate. We are hoping it is as effective in managing his pain as the old medicine.

We are still juggling the children. Right now, it looks like Kerri will be coming home tonight and a man from church will be staying with Jason at the hospital. Kerri's mom is feeling better and offered to stay the night with the kids again, but Mom is still very weak. We think she could use another day or two to recover. Please keep this situation in your prayers. It has been very hard for our kids to be juggled from place to place, but it is hard for Kerri to be away from Jason when the care he has received has been questionable and he is sometimes confused.
