Postponed.....again

Today's treatment was postponed due to the lingering virus that Jake has in his system.
In meeting with the Dr., she felt there was still enough congestion in his lungs and sinuses that it was best to wait a little longer.

The next phase of treatment is most successful when it is done in a continuous window. The last thing we want to do is to start the treatment and then have the virus still be in his system and have it ramp back up again once his immune system is compromised. The risks at that point are much higher and the success rate of the treatment will be lessened. Because of this we have an appt. Monday afternoon with the Dr to take another look. We will call in the morning and give her the update on where Jake is compared to today. If she feels there is a good chance we can start, we will go into the clinic and have them run the CBC to make sure his blood counts agree with her assessment as well.

Here's praying for a quiet weekend and for some of Tanya's homemade chicken noodle soup!!!!!
