Happy New Year! Jordy's at home ~

12/31
To fill in the blanks; they went to Portland today. Jordy’s blood counts were too low. Instead of giving him blood or platelets the doctors decided to wait a week and let his mouth heal before more chemo. They will go back to Portland next Wednesday and try again. Jordy is off his Arbys’ diet until his mouth heals and is surviving on biscuits and gravy and soup. Have a good new year. George

Good afternoon.

Jordy and I are back home. His counts were a little low today. This was not surprising to the doctor or us. It is pretty hard to get counts up in just one week, but Jordy was willing to give it a try. They probably would have gone ahead if he didn’t have such bad mouth sores. This will give him time to heal and get those counts really high (or as high as chemo allows). This also changes his schedule so that he will be home for Christmas, New Year’s, and his birthday (January 31). His luck is amazing!

Tonight Jordy is going to his friends’ houses, and Kevin and I will get to ring in the New Year together. What a concept!

Enjoy your celebrations!
