Temporary Prosthesis on Monday ~

1/22 ~ 1/24

Jordy and Annie are home in Scio tonight. Jordy did not pass his blood test and since he had two units of platelets this week they sent him home for the week. They will try again next week. On the way out of the hospital Jordon experienced double vision. It did not improve so back to the hospital they went. The doctors checked him over and not finding anything he received a CAT scan as a going away present. The scan showed NOTHING abnormal. (It is really tough to use the word nothing with abnormal when describing a McDonald so mark this day on your calendars.) The doctors then sent them home late this afternoon, early evening. If the vision does not improve they will have to see an eye specialist later.

Jordy’s double vision seems to be going away. Thank goodness! He said it only bothered him one time in the afternoon when he was watching television. The doctor thought it might be the result of a virus. I also think his platelet counts are going back up. Jordy’s nose runs a lot, but when his platelet counts are low there is a small amount of blood with it. The runny nose is a side effect of not having any nose hairs. You just don’t realize how important the little things are until they are gone . . . even nose hairs!

Monday is the day that Jordy will receive his temporary prosthesis. He is sort of concerned about the bulk of it. The sockets last week were pretty big because the swelling was much more noticeable when they did the initial cast. It is a long process to get to the final product, but we are well on our way.

Hopefully Jordy can get his last Doxorubicin this week. It will be nice to check off one more thing!
