Jack continues to look better. He was a little tired today though. His white blood cell count was down to around 240 which is better than yesterday and they have him scheduled for more Campath treatments today and tomorrow. His platelets were at 31 which is slightly higher than yesterday and they gave him more today. He asked the nurse if he can have cough drops since his throat has sounded pretty hoarse. She suggested that it might be a better idea to to a cough syrup instead so there is less of chance he will choke on it.
They had a little trouble with his physical therapy... moving him around and getting him out of bed. They are going to try a special PT chair tomorrow to see if it helps.
By the way, Jack finally got his yummy milkshake. It wasn't a Frosty (or a Blizzard) he had to settle for a plain vanilla one from McDonald's. He said it was delicious!
We put a bigger picture of Josh (his grandson) up in his room. Fran also read him all the cards that people have sent him since he got to the hospital. Jack really liked that.
I won't be at the hospital again until Saturday but I will try to get more info when I can.
