Jason ate a little bit for breakfast, chatted over hot
chocolate, and even walked around the hospital. Actually, Jason was able to
walk all the way to the Children’s Hospital to visit friends. Plus, Jason will
be entertaining company for just a few minutes this afternoon.
So far, Jason’s vital signs have been good. His blood pressure is lower than the nurses are used to seeing but they say that it is healthy. His oxygen level is holding steady in the mid 90’s so everyone is pretty confident that his lungs are doing well. His headache is still present but it has been controlled by a pain pump.

The doctors were discussing Jason’s health this morning and
we are just waiting to see some improvement in his White Cell Counts, and
steadier blood levels (his numbers still decrease by about one half unit per
day), as well as an increase in platelets (still 6,000). They anticipate at
least a week and a half until we see those numbers improve.
We continue to hope that Jason will be feeling better every
day, that the bone marrow starts to grow, and that his blood counts increase.
We cannot wait to be home.
Also, we would like to take a moment to thank our Church family
and friends for their generosity and kindness during this emotional and
difficult time. Your support has been wonderful!
