Update for Today

Hey Guys!  Here is the update that I got from Kyle tonight. 

Jack looks better this morning. They are working on weaning him off morphine.  They are giving him Lortab and Motrin for the pain, but his head pain is still hurting. The spinal tap will be tomorrow.  The tap should further confirm no involvement in the spine.  The port surgery has been postponed to Thursday at 9 am.  He can go home after it if the pain is more managed and if he does well after surgery.  Jack has had a pretty good day overall.  They have increased the steroids to see how he handles them. Tomorrow a physical therapist is coming in to help him with balance issues and see if he'll need a wheelchair or walker at home. 

He went to the garden for some fresh air and sunshine! Mary and Bob feel your love and prayers!!  Please keep up the encouraging comments!!

Thanks,
Lindsey McGreger
