Sorry for the long delay between posts but the last several days have been very much the same in that he is holding his own and showing signs of healing. His vitals continue to indicate within normal ranges with mild fluctuations noted during drug infusions or during his repositioning. He continues to receive pain medication which keeps him sleeping most of the time. In order to aid in healing his skin issues and helping expel the residual fluid in his lungs the wound care nurses have begun turning him from side to side every two hours. The dark area on his right side has lightened considerably as a result. His nose remains packed due to the bleeding from the tissue that was removed last Wednesday. This is apparently a good indication meaning dead/diseased tissue would not bleed. The need for additional surgery into his nose is being debated by the doctors. Also being discussed is the possibility of performing a tracheostomy. He has had a breathing tube installed for 15 days now. Five days beyond what the doctors recommend at this facility.
The status of his leukemia is not known at this time. There is currently no firm time set for recovery of a bone marrow sample.
Additional information will be posted as it becomes known. Keep Jadon in your prayers.
