An Unplanned return to the hospital

Friday morning, Jeremy said his G tube was hurting and when Lynnette looked at it she noticed it was red all the way around and started to feel warm.  Calling the clinic she learned just what she thought, that he needed to go in to be checked out and likely stay the night.  It turned out to be an infection.  Fortunately we caught it early enough, and he responded so quickly to the antibiotic, that Jeremy never really got a fever and was able to come back home after only 24 hours.  The bad news though is that the infection used up all the rest of his neutraphils so his ANC is zero.  We are starting the neupogen shots again and are runing antibiotics through his G tube and through his port.  Until his ANC count comes up, we moved his visit level to Red.  He seems to be feeling ok right now, and is sleeping well, but with a cough starting he is very vulnerable.
