Day 3

Well the good news is they are going to send us home tomorrow afternoon it looks like. He has had 2 negative cultures and they assume the 3rd will be negative so they said they'd send us a little early. The bad news is that all his blood counts are really low. That has never happened before. They gave him a blood transfusion today. One of the nurses said, "just what he needs, more energy!" For most kids if they need a transfusion they are really tired and worn out, but not Jordan. Anyways, they can't give him his chemo till the white blood cell count goes up. So we'll probably have to come back on Monday for that. Another bummer is the the combination of the previous chemo drugs and low counts has made walking difficult again.
