Quick Update

Charlotte came home on Friday for the weekend. So it was just the guys hanging out, and Jack wasn't his usual self. He really was not much fun because he wasn't feeling well. He had a fever and was just blah all day. Now fevers are serious S.ugar H.oney I.ced T.ea in the transplant world. Blood is taken, antibiotics are started and the national guard is called out (not really but it feels that way). They run cultures and all sorts of tests to see if anything grows. Once they find out what it is, they then adjust the medications to fit the bug. So here we are at 2:00 am Tylenol is not touching Jack's fever and they tell me we are going to have to bring it down the old fashioned way. Cold compresses, now picture Jack sleeping with one of those nice fleece cure4jack blankets snug as a bug. I woke Jack up and told him we where going to do this and he had a fit. So to get him to go along I had to put one on too. Our nurse Jenn told me it was very becoming. But changing compresses every 15 minutes for 2 hours till the next dose of Tylenol was the biggest drag. 4:00 am by the time I got to sleep. Needless to say I am dragging.
Jack's new cells are taking their sweet time, they are up and down, down and up. At this point they are saying Jack has a yeast infection and they will probably have to pull his broviac line out tomorrow. But we will wait to see.
I will definetely post an update tomorrow. But let me leave you with this picture. It was taken last week but it is amusing. . Jack likes a towel on his head after his bath because he hates having a wet head.
