Jeff is still running a temperature. It usually comes on in the late evening and lasts until late morning. They started him on an anti-fungal last night in hopes that it will take care of the still-mysterious infection. He is quite uncomfortable most of the time.
They've also started Jeff on Neupogen shots which should help him to recover his white blood cells a little bit sooner. In addition, he'll be getting a booster dose of Mark's stem cells some time after the fever breaks. This treatment is called a Donor Lymphocyte Infusion, which is meant to stimulate GVHD and keep the leukemia at bay.
