Back in the Big House

Jordan was re-admitted to the hospital this morning. Oh! This is so old it's desiccated, antiquated, and we pray all meds will be potentiated. Also, we continue to pray for more platelets, and less pain! WBC's, .2; HGB, 10.1; platelets, 10K. No platelet transfusion today though. Just fluids, and morphine. The titrated morphine drip began at 6 mg/h. And the Neupogen injections have been discontinued.

Everyone's comments are great. But a bit of practical advice is in order for Mr. Jordan. While in the "Big House", don't ever trust a nurse by the name of Bubba! I know that is not politically correct, but that is how bikers like me from California think. Keep the throttle revved and your focus on the road!

Bonnie and Brianna thank you so much for keeping us all updated. I check daily always hopeful that some reprieve has been granted to Jordan and that the turn for good is there. Seattle still an option?
