Jeff is still spiking fevers at night, which means he's still hospitalized. He had a bit of a reprieve last night and wasn't as uncomfortable as he has been, but he did have some other issues that kept him up all night. He will be getting the booster dose of Mark's cells tomorrow, which as a procedure is not a big deal, but is the key to keeping him in remission. We have to hope that the cells stimulate some graph vs. host disease, which is characterized by damage to the skin, liver and gut. Funny that we have to hope for this, but if Mark's cells are damaging other organs, they are probably also damaging leukemia cells.
JD is growing like a weed and is still the happy baby he's always been. Luckily, he doesn't seem to know what's going on and always has a smile on his face when we take him to the hospital to see his Daddy. The nurses are all in love with him, and he is the talk of the Hershey Cancer Institute. I can't blame them...I do have an adorable little boy!
