Jayson's Exercise Class

Jayson had another restful morning. His dad, Grandpa and Grandma Lucy stayed with him last night.  This morning, his friend, Esther, came to visit bringing Jayson a razmatazz smoothie from Jamba Juice.  Jayson was asleep when Esther arrived, but he quickly opened his eyes when he heard Esther's voice.  He enjoyed the smoothie very much, but more importantly he spent some quality time with Esther catching up.

While Esther was here, he showed her some of the exercises he does to strengthen his legs and arms.  Here's a short video of Jayson demonstrating his exercises this morning.

I spoke to Jayson's medical team when they made their rounds. Dr. Kon, one of his ICU doctors, is on duty today and hasn't been here for a few weeks. He was very surprised at Jayson's condition and progress while he was gone. He described it as "spectacular".  As of his last labs, his white blood count is still at 0.1 and his platelet count was lower than the parameter that was set.  Therefore, he received 2 units of platelets today. Jayson is still running a fever and he's given Tylenol to help as needed.  Jayson slept most of the morning and early afternoon.

Today, Jayson tried to play his guitar but his fingers were a bit stiff, so he asked for his laptop instead.  He posted a message on his facebook page letting his friends know he's doing better.

Looking more like Jayson.

Jayson is expecting more visitors this evening and is waiting for his sister, Kristen, to bring him some cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon.  More pictures on our next post.
