Count Them One by One

It's definitely good times when Jordan's home, buuuut, when he's home, it's back and forth every single day, rain or shine, feeling bad or feeling fine, to check those temperamental blood counts. You never know who to put your money on, the WBC's, hemoglobin, the platelets, or what. It's a real horserace. One count pulls ahead, almost reaching an acceptable level, then suddenly, it loses its place and falls to the back of the pack. Another count slowly starts to make its move, steadily gaining ground, and then, oh! down he goes.
