Back to Saint Barnabas

This morning, Jack was re-admitted to the hospital when his pre-chemo treatment blood tests showed low blood sugar levels and another infection brewing. It was a shock to Damond and Anneli, as Jack appeared to be in good health; he had a fantastic weekend and did not display any signs of illness.

That's the amazing thing about medicine: the tests the doctors run let them detect an illness even before Jack's body has manifested any outward symptoms. So as difficult it is to have him re-admitted, we know it is a necessary precaution to protect Jack's fragile immune system.

Once he was admitted and his blood sugar levels went up, Jack received his chemotherapy treatment through a spinal tap so that he remains on track for his Consolidation treatment. His doctor anticipates discharging Jack after he receives enough antibiotics to conquer the infection. I'll be sure to post if there is any change to that plan. In the meantime, keep the Baileys close in your thoughts and in your prayers.
