Today was a wonderful break from all of the awful events of
the past week. Around 1:30 this morning Jason started feeling better. Not only
has he been talking but he was able to shower, walk around the hospital, and
eat a small portion of solid food. It has been two weeks since the transplant
and I am grateful to get a glimpse of my husband again.
I missed my wonderful husband so much that when he was awake
last night I forced myself to stay awake with him because he couldn't stop
talking but it cost me my health today. I have had a nightmare headache all day
that no amount of pain reliever has solved, my neck is sore, and I have taken
two naps to try and catch up from my missed sleep.
Jason had another chest xray today and it revealed that his
lungs are doing better than yesterday. His Hemoglobin is 9.1 today, which is
lower than yesterday but not too low. One doctor said that we are looking at
another week of taking care of his blood and platelets until we may see some
small changes that reflect a new marrow. We continue to pray for the success of
this transplant and hope that the rest of the days are similar to today or
better.
