John had a hard time recovering from his last dose of chemo.  He was starting to get better from it and then he got mouth sores again.  Ugh!  Luckily it doesn't interfere with his eating since he is still using his feeding tube, but talking is painful right now.  His immune system blood counts are still really low as of today.  Once his counts recover, then his mouth sores should go away pretty quick.   By the end of this week, John's counts should be recovered and we won't have to worry about any more hospitalizations!  (While his counts are still low, there is a possibility of another fever that he would need to be in the hospital to get antibiotics.)  Another blood test on Thursday will hopefully show that his immune system is back.  Here is a picture of his last dose of chemo and his lifetime max of doxorubicin getting pushed into his veins.
