Jayme is still in ICU. His blood pressure and kidney function is stable, although he despises the catheter! The holdup is still his zero white blood cell count and low platelets. So it is a waiting game. Just waiting for the blood counts to start going up, which, according to the oncologist should be in the next few days.
Jayme is experiencing some confusion. That can happen when stuck in ICU for several days. He can't tell night from day and the days run together. He hasn't been out of the room since he arrived early Thursday morning. He is hooked up to several monitors as well as IV lines and oxygen, so his mobility is bed to chair only a couple times a day.
I'm certain he won't remember most of this experience. at least I hope he doesn't. But I will have lots of interesting stories to tell him while on his road to recovery!
More later...

You are both fighting machines! Tell Jayme I am waiting with the watermelon and ready to party!
ReplyDeleteHey Jayme: Make sure you don't make Kay mad and her go yanking on your catheter, though I know she would not do it but you just never know? To past the time I would like to sit down and read you some discription of hiking trails here in North Georgia. I miss talking to you Bro and don't think this gets you out of hiking the AT. Love always #6
