Sunday Oct 4th

Hi All,

Just a quick update because less news is truly good news at this stage.

Jord is in this stage of precarious limbo where the chemo is still keeping his immune system suppressed and before the good white blood cells have a chance to grow back(which the doctors predict will be in a approx a week ). Thus he is very vulnerable to infection..... I am more than happy to report he has stayed infection-free for 5 straight days. That is good! 

But "That" said .....he had a tough weekend and the side effects of chemo, not surprisingly, have made him feel terrible.

Jord knows the side effects are part of the treatment program and a only blip on the screen toward his recovery. He continues to be a fighter and like any champ he's expecting a few punches along the way. He's a heavyweight contender in this fight and the strength you are providing him is so powerful !

Thanks for the continued support of Jord and of the kids. Your well wishes mean so much and really make a difference. 

Lots of love to you all. 

Xoxo, Deb

Thanks too to the friendly dog walkers who are making sure Lucy and Ellie, our 4-legged friends, are cared for while we are here at the hospital.
