Jack to Normal

Hey friends, as I write this, Jack is still in the hospital following chemotherapy.  Some of you may recall that our 1-9-24 admission was advertised as an all-inclusive 4-5 day stay.  Unfortunately,  we’ve been “upgraded” and are currently here indefinitely.   Our extension started with Jack having an elevated temperature for multiple days.  He was tested for every virus, flu & funk known to mankind… He was negative for all.  In an attempt to fight the unknown infection, they gave him an antibiotic. Jack had a reaction to said antibiotic & is now covered head to toe with an itchy rash. For a couple of days, he couldn’t hold down food or liquids. Additionally, the chemo has caused painful irritation to the lining of his mouth & and throat, so it’s difficult to eat or drink. And if that’s not enough, he’s dehydrated & requiring IV fluids. Essentially, if he unscrewed his belly button, his ass would drop off! On a happy note, Jack is doing his best to be upbeat & do the things he can to get home. As always, thoughts, prayers & positive energy are appreciated. Thank you in advance for your love & support!

Much love! Meg, Rich & Jack

P.S.- this “all inclusive” stay does not include unlimited cocktails…not giving it 5-stars on Yelp!
