(A Picture of Jack Jack taken today with Anneli's Phone)We are certain that it is because of all the good energy and prayers that you all continue to have for him.
Jack's doctor mentioned on Thursday that he will have to stay here for a "few days" until his counts reach 500. The first few days felt nothing like the last few, with Jack dancing with the IV pole and discovering every thing in his room including the electrical outlets and the call button for the nurses!
Both Damond and I try to stay positive for Emma and Jack. This hospital stay has been hard on Emma especially, as she is used to us being together as a family in the evenings and on the weekends. She has not been sleeping as well as she normally does, and Emma said to me last week: "Jack does not need to be sick anymore and I don't think he needs any more needles or chemo." She even told the nurses this at the hospital. Big sister Emma is looking out for her little brother.
The reality is that we don't want Jack to be sick either. But at least he is in really good hands. And with the wonderful support that we have from family and friends (you all know who you are) we will be able to fight this and be there for Jack.
This weekend has been extra special with my high school friend Ulrika and her fiancé Magnus visiting from Sweden - Emma has been getting a lot of their undivided attention and been made to feel extra special - Just what Emma needs at this time. I, in turn, have had a chance to spend time with a very special friend and I am happy that Ulrika has gotten to know Damond and I have gotten to know Magnus.
Another South Orange friend, Kristen, who is a photographer, visited us on Thursday last week and took these amazing pictures:
Have a great week and cross your fingers that Jack will be going home on Monday or Tuesday.
Love,
Anneli
