Darlene Evans deserves a gold medal for the planning and organizing of the benefit this past weekend. $11,000.00 was raised thanks to her hard work, effort and the participation of so many Jeff Blount fans, friends and family. The account at Bank of North GA (across from Zaxby's/Lowes) will remain open for anyone who wishes to make a donation. Please reference the Jeff Blount Benefit.
Today was a big day. Jeff had the lumbar puncture done, much to his discomfort. The doctor was unsuccessful the first two attempts at removing spinal fluid. The third attempt was a success and the results show that the course of treatment is working. In order to make this process easier, a port will be installed in his head on Wednesday. This port will enable to doctors to access spinal fluid easier as well as administer the chemotherapy.
There is a chance that Jeff will be going home for a few days this week. The doctors are anxious to give him a break from the hospital prior to next weeks 5 day chemo drip that he was previously scheduled for. As much as Tina would love to sleep in her own bed, she is not overly excited about leaving Emory until she's comfortable that he can continue to thrive at home.
