Jordan has had a busy week! On Monday he went in for chemo. When he arrived, he had a 100.3 fever and was immediately admitted to the hospital. They held off on the chemo treatment and evaluated him for the rest of the day. They finally decided that the fever was caused by the heat outside and his walk into the hospital, and he was able to go home.

On Tuesday he went in for the chemo treatment he was supposed to have Monday. It was supposed to be administered in the Peds ICU Unit, however, there weren't any beds for him, so he was taken to the Peds part of the hospital with an ICU doctor to administer the chemo. The type of chemo he was getting does have the possibility of a reaction occurring. Usually this type is given in the thigh, however, since Jordan doesn't have any muscles in his thighs, he was given it by IV. It went directly into his blood stream and he had a reaction. He was treated for it and had to stay in the hospital over night for observation.

Wednesday he had a rehabilitation session scheduled at the hospital for his physical therapy. It was for nerves and muscles, among other things.
