The result of the white cell scan showed no infection anywhere in his body. It is normal at times for white counts to be higher around the site of the incision, heart graft, etc. just due to the trauma and healing of the heart.
White counts were down again this morning to 16. It needs to be around 11-12 before they will release us.
Cole will be flying in a couple of hours with Justin. We are trying to talk the staff into allowing Jason a bit more time off of the unit. They won't let him off of the property but we can go around the property and find some places to hang out in the fresh air together.
Jason is ready to be free, he is tired of being a "pin cushion" and having people scan him, probe him, and generally tell him what to do. He is starting to try to talk his way into things so we definitely know he is feeling better.
We will take a walk here in a bit so he can get out before it gets too hot.
So there is nothing to do today except sit around and wait for the next blood draw tomorrow morning at 6:00.
Will keep you posted.
