Fever

Jim has been running a low grade fever on and off over the last few days - something that could be related to the blood products he is receiving. Today, his temperature spiked to 101 degrees, and he is a little more uncomfortable. The doctor ordered a chest x-ray and began antibiotics and has given Tylenol for the fever. With Jim's white blood count being so low, it is not unusual that antibiotics might be needed. Even so, please pray that the medications Jim is receiving would be effective and his temperature would return to normal, and that Jim would be back to feeling better. Jim's brother, John, is coming into town tonight and will be able to spend some time with Jim tomorrow. Hopefully, that will be some more good medicine for Jim - watching football with his brother!

I'm glad he's feeling better already. Hope Jim and John are enjoying the football games! I'm so glad he could come for the weekend. I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit with you yesterday- it was good to see you. :)
