I know all of you will continue to keep Jim in your prayers. Here's the
latest and it sounds better.

Good morning, Jim's white cell count is now up to 3.5. This is a jump from
yesterday's 1.3. When I went to visit him on Sunday, I learned that they
were giving him his Neupogen injection in the same area every day. I
politely mentioned that I thought that one is suppose to alternate the
injection site. This led to a conversation with the nurse about getting
the
injection in the stomach where it is thought that better absorption
occurs.
Turned out, my dear husband had been apprehensive about receiving the
injection in the stomach; however, the nurse and I did eventually convince
him to try it. I remembered that he used to get them there last year when
he'd
been in the hospital. Now, he is convinced that he will let them give him
his shots there without worry. Today, he will be having a procedure called
EGD - esophagogastroduodenoscopy. This is to find out if they can see what
is going on with his esophagus. They know he has esophagitis; however,
sounds like they want to make sure there isn't anything else going on in
that area. You can learn about EGD at the following:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003888.htm We pray that
the
procedure is uneventful; and that, there are no surprises. We also pray
that
he will be able to come home either tomorrow or the next day. He is
extremely fed up with being in the hospital and is very much homesick. Kim

Character is the side of yourself you choose to show the world.
Integrity is what you do, what you say and how you act when you think no
one
is paying attention.
