On Thursday our Hero returned home from his little 'vacation' at the hospital for his flu bug. The docs said that it is actually safer for him at home than it would be to stay at the hospital. Confirming something JoJo already knew, home is better than the hospital. A feeling he made very visible by spreadng his arms and happily declaring to his brother, "I'm home Paul!" Although happy to be home, Team Taylor was not relishing the task of getting Joe to take is three antibiotics twice a day.
As if Mom didn't feel anxious enough when Joseph got the flu and had the low numbers (38 ANC and .9 WBC) from the treatment, word came down that cousin Brock had gotten one chicken pock (if that is indeed the singular form of chicken pox) from the vaccination he received. A flurry of phone calls ensued to first determine who had 'touched Brock' (Blanca, Nonnie and Dad were guilty) and then a flurry of phone calls to the docs to determine the risk to Joe. The medical team doesn't seem too terribly concerned and didn't think there was a significant chance of contagion or transmission. But just in case, keep that in mind when saying your prayers for our Hero.
JoJo and Team Taylor will be heading into get labs done ever couple of days until his ANC and WBC return to acceptable levels so, as always, stay tuned...
