It's Tuesday and I have both good news and bad news. First the good....we got discharged on Saturday and had a great weekend and Monday. And Mac's ANC went up a bit, so now we have some numbers on the board!!! And Team MacAttack is in 2nd place and moving up! Now the bad news... we got readmitted today. Mac woke up with aches and pains and since our clinic visit was at 8am, we were in the right place at the right time for once. They addressed his pain, but his blood pressure was fluctuating and he developed a fever so back up to the second floor we went. This time we got the big corner room with extra windows. (It's the little things that make a difference!) It seems the serum sickness took a little longer to get here this time. We're hopeful that this time his symptoms will be monitored until they go away completely, and hopefully quickly. The Target House is great and we are very thankful that we were moved. Mac said today he's sick of feeling sick, but he is really being a good sport. Everyone has commented on what a great patient he is still being.


Here's our address at Target House:

Target House II
1811 Poplar Ave.
Memphis, TN 38104
attn: Maurice A. Carr, Room 421

Thanks to everyone who is supporting Team MacAttack and St. Jude. If we have to be going through this, this is the place to be. And thanks for the prayers and well wishing. I'll write again soon.
