Update on Jay

Not to worry, so far nothing too major.
Came home to Jay with a severe fever this evening and somewhat incoherent.
Couldnt get up, talk, etc. Lots of pain.
He had a cough this morning, and body aches.
There has been lots of nasty flu going around.
Called his doc (as he was supposed to have Chemo Thursday morning) to advise.
He asked that we take him to the hosp. to have white cell count checked out.
Anil Sr. and I took him in and after evaluation, they think his count isn't exactly where it should be, and most likely he is also fighting a virus.

They did a spinal tap to make sure it was nothing serious as bacterial or viral meningitis, and did a ctscan to make sure nothing was going on in his head, as he has a severe headache.

They've decided to keep him over night to make sure he stays hydrated, and his fever is controlled, and that the infection is not bacterial. His oncologist will come to see him in the hospital tomorrow morning. I doubt any chemo will be administered at this time.

Right now Jay needs lots of rest, and some down time...his phone is off- please do not call his mobile while he's at the hospital. Feel free to send your good wishes to him on the blog (God knows he'll be checking it first thing in the morning from the hospital!). If you have any questions, feel free to email and I'll check in with you guys later.

Off to bed.

Hi Jay and Bek,
Just signed on to get the update.
Hope you are feeling stronger by tonight and can go home. Bek be careful you don't catch whatever Jay has or you'll be down too. Sounds like you both could use some rest! Love and Prayers, Mom

Hey dude,

Stay strong and keep that positive outlook. You will get through this and it will strengthen you beyond your years. Everything happens for a reason. I look forward to coming up again real soon. Hopefully Julie can make it or maybe one of the homeboys. Thinking about you always and praying for you daily.

Stay strong and feel the love,
