I am sorry that it has been a few days since my last update. This weekend has been somewhat busy. Jenn's boyfriend and my brother drove up from PA and my cousin and Jenn's friend have been here since Thursday/Fridayish as well.
Jenn has been conscious and alert since Saturday but has still been very sick. The staph infection that she picked up in Pittsburgh was in her blood and effecting her heart. She has also spent almost 48 hours vomiting non stop because her body is trying to adjust from all the changes in medicine and her body is still trying to work some built up fluid out. They are still pushing antibiotics but her ANC did drop from 698 down to 300 even so they are on a pretty strict lock down for Jenn's room. We only get to see her for 3 hours a day because of how the visiting hours are set up at the moment and only Jack and I are allowed to see her at the moment because they are afraid that if they allow a lot of people in, more germs will travel in as well. She still is not allowed anything in her room but as soon as she is we will let everyone know. We are still hoping to have her home by May first but it is up to her and how much she wants to put herself through. Otherwise she can be released as soon as the Staph is clear and they feel she can move without rebreaking the femur. As of right now, only time can tell.
I spent the last hour filling her in on some of the things we know were happening around home but we are still trying not to over whelm her so a lot was left out. I myself will be making a quick trip home next week to get my cast removed hopefully and to walk Kate perform in the musical Grease. It should be pretty entertaining. I think maybe just the time home will be relieving but we will just have to wait and see what is going on here.
