On Monday Jordon went in for some bloodwork and a CT scan. His bloodwork looked great and his white blood cell count was actually on the high side. This is thanks to the Neupogen shot we give him after his chemo. His nurse practitioner did a head to toe exam that includes testing his strength. Jordon has managed to lose close to 20 pounds through all of this but is starting to come back from that. He also lost a lot of his strength due to his lack of being able to do much of anything. She said he has improved quite a bit over the past couple weeks and he has been trying to go to the gym and get back into shape.
We meet with the oncologist on January 5th to receive results of the CT scan and hopefully hear news that he is in remission. If so, then he will have his port removed the following week. He will then be back on the schedule of monthly monitoring.
He is still bald and pale but feeling much better. He was able to go back to school for finals week and sit on the bench with his teammates for two varsity games. He was cleared to play so he will go out for his first varsity game this year on December 29th. He can't wait!
So God willing he will be in remission and on his way back to some normalcy!
