John was moved from cardiac ICU this afternoon to another floor to be monitored. This floor will be monitoring his heart rate and blood pressures on a monitor. He will stay there for 3 or less days to make sure he is stable enough to go back to the oncology floor. The oncology team will be following him closely until he can get back down to the oncology floor. He is extremely tired and worn out. He said he is tired of being a pin cushion; hopefully they can get a central line in him in the next couple of days.
He is now what they call neutropenic which means his counts are bottoming out and he is very susceptible to infections. Visitors will be limited during this time for that reason and due to his fatigue. That's about all for tonight.

Hey Buzzy,
Congrats on the twins! Well you've put my whining over stomach flu into perspective. Keep fighting!
On a side note you'd think my cousin would be able to figure out how to put his name without signing, "anonymous."
Hey Johnny and Jess.
First time blogger here. Guess a virgin of sorts.
3 yards and a cloud of dust. Ball control. You know how to beat this thing down.
My thoughts are with you. Seems like some people will do anything to get out of PT.
See ya, KROB
