Friday Evening

The doctors that have visited tonight to say we need to wait to see how Jack's clotting issue progresses. For now it appears the bleeding has stopped. He is much more responsive now after the anesthesia was stopped and he definitely recognizes everyone when they say hello. Right now he can squeeze your hand and nod a little, and tap his foot at the bottom of the bed.

They have been giving him steroids and the oncologist said his while blood cell count is down from the level it was at when he was admitted. He is also over the platelet level that they were hoping he would get to, so these are at least some positive signs.

He has had some excess mucus formation that they are testing, he has been able to cough a lot of it up and the preliminary thought is that it could be pneumonia related.
