Jack has been struggling with pretty bad back pain that is really slowing him down. We're not really sure what is causing it, which concerns us. Please pray that the doctors would have wisdom in terms of diagnosing and treating it, and ultimately that the pain would go away.
Jack's platelets and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) are lower than they need to be in order to proceed with the second ("consolidation") phase of chemo. Jack's attitude from the beginning has been, "Let's get this thing done," so while we appreciate the break from chemo on the one hand, it really is our desire to get back at it. Please pray that his levels would be up in time to restart chemo again on Tuesday.
Jack has lost a lot of weight, most of which is muscle. His strength, energy and endurance have all been way down. Please pray that he would rebound in these areas. And throughout this process, please pray for protection from infection as his weakened immune system leaves him very vulnerable.
Thanks so much for your love and support, and especially for your prayers.
