Day +15 - April 9, 2006

Jack was taken out of the PICU and returned to his own room back in transplant. He was monitored for 24 hours in the PICU and he did great. Unfortunately from all the sedation they used for the MRI/MRV and the seizure medicine he was put on (phenobarbatol) he spent most of the day sleeping. The squash doctor doesn't seem to think Jack will have another seizure, but anything is possible. Part of the whole transplant procedure is waiting for the levels to come up and we've been told that the platelets are the last to come back to normal so the patients tend to need frequent transfusions of platelets. The thinking for the seizure was possibly the low platelets so it was decided that they would be giving Jack more then usual. Roy went back to Fairfield today to be with Christina and I am so looking forward for this week to go fast since Christina will be off from school for spring break after Easter and she will be down here in Philly for the whole week. I'm planning a lot of sight seeing for her vacation. I'm very excited and just miss her terribly. Roy and Jack will have a week of male bonding. Hopefully we'll start to see some engraphing really soon. Keep praying.
