Jeff is still hanging in there, but he's not having a very easy go of it this time. His fever remains at 103 or 104 and at times, his blood pressure is very low. He's not very coherent right now and sleeps most of the time. He is retaining fluids from the neck area on up, and has a rash covering most of his body. He is still very uncomfortable, but the sciatica-type pain is much better since getting the chemo through his spine.
He's receiving his 5th (and last) dose of his (regular-not spinal) chemo treatment today. His counts have bottomed out and he's received transfusions of both platelets and packed red blood cells. If you're looking for a way to help, please give blood, or platelets, or both.

Our hearts are breaking for all of you, Jamie. I continue to pray as I know everyone in doing. Please know that you are a constant on our minds as we go through the day. Love you all, Tim, Candy and Hannah
The three of you are on my mind always and in my prayers as well. What does a person say, there just are no words to describe. Just keep hanging in there (I know its hard, but you are all so strong.) So glad to hear the good news about the biopsy. Kiss the baby for me and please tell Jeff we are thinking of him.
Love to all
Chriss and Andy
