Chemo Postponed

No chemo for Jordan this week, it has been pushed back. Monday evening Jordan was admitted to the hospital for a fever that kept on raising. After listening to his lungs and doing a chest x ray, it has been determined that he has a mild case of pneumonia in the lower left lung. He was immediately started on two powerful antibiotics that cover a wide spectrum of bacteria infections and treats pneumonia. As of last night, the fevers have not let up and only break with Tylenol. He is not feeling sick nor showing any signs that would have been a red flag to us, only the fevers. We are also waiting on blood cultures that take up to 48 hours to determine if there are any bacteria infections in his body, for example a blood infection due to his pic line. Once nothing shows growth on the cultures for three days, we may be able to go home after another chest x ray is done proving the pneumonia is clearing, and if the fever stops. There are a number of reasons for the fever, it may even be viral that antibiotics can not help.

We are looking at the earliest possibility of coming home being Friday, and we are counting on that!! Shawn, Tristen, Jordan and myself are not ready for any hospital stays to say the least. We will keep you posted.
