Jack's blood tests came back negative which means he does not have a bacterial infection but he more than likely has viral infection.
His ANC (White blood cells) counts are very, very low. They went from 209 on Monday, to 112 yesterday to 40 today.
The good news is that he has been fever-free since last night and his counts are slowly starting to rise. But until they are over 500 he will not be able to leave the hospital... and until his counts are above 750 he will not be able to start his next treatment phase.
To be on the safe side, Jack is still getting antibiotics every 12 hours and the music therapy he had this morning also helps him keep up the fighting spirit.
Jack's doctor thinks there might be chance he will be sent home tomorrow or on Friday. Please keep your fingers crossed that his counts will go up fast as Jack is definitely ready to leave the hospital and we are all ready for him to come home:-)
XOXO,
Anneli
