Tuesday Night

Jack had a lot of visitors today. He was still talking about his neighbors Kathy and Jack visiting yesterday and was so appreciative of it. He likes having people here to talk to and enjoy his music with.

Fran talked to the nurse earlier today and found out that Jack's platelet count was down to 21 again. His white blood cell count is up over 400 now but the doctor's are not ready to try and different treatment yet. They are going to give it a few more days (probably until Thursday or Friday) and then reassess whether to change medications.

Jack was in the therapy chair for awhile again today but he was complaining the his back was sore. He is back in bed now and got a pillow from the nurse so he is a little more comfortable.

When we got to the room tonight Jack had some volunteers playing guitar and singing to patients in the Oncology Department. They played some Grateful Dead and then Jack asked for John Denver and they played "Country Road" and everyone sang along (including Jack). It was a really nice surprise!
