Jack had clinic yesterday and it was a long day. His counts when down slightly, but not enough to really cause alarm and he got his dose of IVIG's and Pantamadine and we finally got home at 8:00pm.

So just when we thought that his counts were doing better and he's eating a little better, however no weight gain, Jack decided to spike a 102 temperature and he had a bright red leg at 3:30 this morning. As soon as I saw his leg and felt how warm he was I knew we didn't have a choice and right away thought cellulitis again. So I woke up Roy and called down to CHOP and it was decided that we just get in the car and go. Roy ended up taking Jack alone so I could be with my mom this morning since today marked the 1 year anniversary of my dad's passing. I had planned a small gathering for graveside prayers with my pastor, Rev. Jeff Markay of the Caldwell United Methodist Church and Roy didn't want me to miss it. Thanks Babe for taking Jack for me so I can go to the cemetary. Thanks Rev. Jeff for making this difficult day a little more bearable with prayers.

So, here I sit in the BMT floor with all our good friends, Derrick, Linda, Tracey, Renee, Precious, Lori, Denny, Kim, Jessica, Kate, Nicole, Carolina and more that I didn't name. Everyone say's "what are you doing back again?" and I just shrug my shoulders. My poor baby isn't feeling well and his leg is really hurting so I'm sure it'll be another day before he really starts to feel better. And, Christina, what a good girl she is, she's keeping her Oma company on this difficult day and she even did her homework without anyone having to tell her. She's such a good girl. Love you Tina!!!!

God Bless everyone and please keep those prayers coming.
