Getting there!
Overall, Jordan is feeling good. He started to get lethargic on friday and blood tests revealed that he was really anemic again. They started a transfusion friday afternoon but he developed a fever as a reaction to something in the blood. It's not a big deal but they had to stop the transfusion. We returned to the hospital this morning to try again and everything went fine. He gets such an energy boost from these transfusions. He has been running around the house like a maniac all afternoon. His platelets never got low enough to require a platelet transfusion and it appears that they are on the rise. We expect that his neutrophils will begin to fall in the next few days. As you all probably know at this point, that is the scary one because he cannot receive a transfusion for it and it renders him with no immune system. Pray for no fevers in the next few weeks and then we will be in the clear! Love, Lara and Jim
