John made 8 laps around his unit this morning and has eaten a little bit. This morning John has a low grade fever which makes him tired and not feeling the greatest. His white count continues to drop which is normal and his platelet count keeps jumping around. Today his platelet count is low. Yesterday the doctors performed a CT scan to see why John was having headaches and is experiencing sores in his mouth. The CT scan came back normal which is a good thing, but it doesn't help with the understanding of the cause of the headaches and sores. John has eaten a little bit but not like he should. Due to the sores in his mouth he doesn't feel like eating or talking. This is an area we can be praying specifically for John today.
Big John reported that the doctors are encouraged with where John is with his treatments and how he is doing. They have seen many others do much worse at this point. Our prayers are being answered!
Continue to pray for Lorena as she finishes this semester and for Janna as she has to work a lot during the holidays. John will be down at Riley since his work is in "shut-down" for the next week.
