Update September 14th
I wanted to update everyone on Jack.
First off we want to say thank you to every that has been supporting Jack, we all really appreciate it. Please keep sending messages Jack is getting closer and closer to being able to read them.
Jack started chemo on Wednesday, and had a two and a half hour round of chemo for 3 days in a row. He is extremely tired but it seems like it went okay. He is pushing himself to stand and try and walk. He was able to get lifted into a chair 2 days ago and was able to sit in the chair for 4 hours, and was able to do the same thing yesterday.
His physical therapists are getting him standing and initiating him walking and very impressed with his effort and will. His speech therapist is making huge progress with Jack . Jack is starting to speak sentences. His vision has improved. We’re waiting to hear rehab plans and will let you know when we’re closer to getting him out of the hospital.
We are trying to keep Jack in the hospital for as long as possible to ensure his recovery gets the best care possible, but as most of you know health insurance companies want to get patients out of the hospital as soon as possible even if they still need hospital quality care and not a rehab facility. We will know in the next few days if they are going to let Jack stay or be moved to a rehab facility which we feel is way too soon for his recovery.
