As promised, here is the picture of Carol with the big cheese. It has been delicious. We have been eating cheese all day long.
Yesterday, we took Jason to the hospital to get some tests to make sure he doesn't have any type of infection that might be causing the fevers. We are still waiting to get results back. We thought it would only take 20 minutes or so, but they had to pull blood from his Central Venous Catheter to check the blood there, and they were unable to get a sample. We were sent to the Infusion Center and they were unable to draw blood either. They said it was a blood clot and they had to inject his catheter with medicine that chews up the clot. We had to wait for an hour and a half, and then they tried to draw blood again. This time, they were able to pull blood with no problem. The blood clot was gone...too bad the tiny amount of medicine they injected into his catheter cost over $500.
We hope to get the results from all the tests soon. If he does have an infection, hopefully it will only take a short course of antibiotics to get rid of it. He has been doing relatively well lately during the daytime, but has not been feeling good at night. We will keep everyone posted when we find out more.
Last night we rented Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day. It was cute and entertaining and most of us thought it was worth watching.
Today, we were able to go to the movie theater (finally open), although it smelled kind of musty and dank from the hurricane. We saw Burn After Reading. I'll let Jason tell you what he thought about this movie when he blog's tomorrow.
Here is a great link my dad sent with some amazing pictures from Hurricane Ike.
Bye for now!

Amazing / disturbing photos of the damage. WOW.
Take care you guys...
Yeah! CHEESE! Okay those photos were amazing and sad all at the same time, thanks for sharing. Take care and can't wait for Jaosn to post. Hugs and smooches from all of us here :)
What size bottle of wine goes with that? Glad to know you managed to get power back and that there is some normality coming back to the city. Some others in Texas did not do so great with Ike. I hope Jason is feeling better soon!
