No real new news today on Jared's progress. Jared is continuing to try eating many different things. This morning he was able to eat an entire cup of Jell-O, and later he tried some milkshake and some pasta. The doctors told us today that the next 24 hours will hopefully be his last bag of IV nutrition; so hopefully in the next couple days his appetite will come back a little bit. It is a little scary to think of him going off the IV nutrition, because he might continue loose more weight due to not being hungry and nothing tasting good. Pray that he is able to eat healthy amounts starting pretty soon!
Jared has barley had to use his pain medication button in the last day, so they might be changing that to pill form in the next couple days. Jared has started swallowing a couple pills already, so he is moving in the right direction.
Today Jared's personality and attitude seemed really positive and back to normal, but his body has been extremely exhausted. I kept trying to try to take him on walks around the hall and he just was not feeling up to it. He did 2 laps, but pray that a little more energy can be restored. Jared is doing really well and is hoping to get out of the hospital in the next few days. He is very ready to go home and just relax!
