Boomerang Part 2 - What a long week!

So again...throw us out and we'll come right back! After feeling like we'd wrapped up visits to the hospital for a while after James' last chemo admit on August 5th, and enjoying some of the real summer weather (with a spontaneous trip to Splashtown on the 14th), we ended up back up at the big house last Sunday the 16th. James woke up with red bloodshot weepy eyes and developed a fever late afternoon, which when you have no white blood cells & a fever, means you're staying at BBCH for a few days.

The fever went a way quickly, but the red eyes took their time. We rested in a shaded room pretty much all of Monday as his eyes were so sensitive to light he didn't even want the curtains opened. Tuesday was better; he got out of the room but was still pretty sensitive. We got out on Wednesday after a few days of antibiotics and slightly climbing blood counts. Hearing test & labs again on Thursday to check his progress, and then an MRI on Friday. Still waiting on results from that.

Company & fun this past weekend, sans Hurricane Bill thankfully. Now James is tired, but for some good reasons too!
