Day 26 Post Transplant - 35 Days in Hospital

Quick Update:

Jim is doing well. Blood counts are good. He is still pretty weak since he spent 2 weeks in bed in the ICU. Physical Therapy is starting to work pretty hard with him so we can get him home. He is not eating well at all. He has no appetite and has some stomach issues. They are not sure if it is medication related or Graft Vs. Host Disease. They start him tomorrow on the Marijuana pills again hoping that they will stimulate his appetite. It worked before so we will see. Bottom line, before he comes home he needs to (1) Be stronger and more active (2) Be eating and tolerating food (3)Have stomach issues (? Graft vs. Host}resolved or treated. These sound like they could take a while but I notice an increase in energy each day. I don't think we will get him home this week, but I would not be surprised if he gets to come home next week. Anyway, I am not frustrated because He is alive and I see progress each day. It may be baby steps but as long as we are moving forward I am good.

Today I AM THANKFUL that I finally got my Suburban out of the shop. Yea!
