Post Transplant day 8!




I am still a day behind in my blogging so I am trying to catch up today! So here is an Update on Jared from yesterday Wednesday November 21st, he is eighth day post transplant! 

Every single day I tell Jared "Don’t worry today has got to be the worst day" well I wish that I was right, but yesterday much like the day before was pretty awful. Tuesday night was as far as I covered last blog post, that night was pretty hard for Jared, we were up pretty much all night long. Jared had a few major things happening extreme nausea and vomiting, He was also  was hallucinating really badly, as well as  his temperature was almost 104 degrees. Jared becomes extremely nauseated almost every time he gets out of bed to go to the bathroom,  he gets dizzy and then needs to vomit. This continued all through yesterday. His Temperature has been very high still for the last several days and nights, it makes it almost impossible for Jared to sleep because he is so uncomfortable. Tuesday night was also when his hallucinations began, it all started with him hearing loud Jamaican music that was keeping him awake from another hospital room. Because he is on so many medications he is so sedated that he cant really separate the real world from his dreams, so all through the night he says weird things really loud and asks me weird questions like last night he turned to me and said "I am not sure If our deal about breeding our race horses is a good idea?" Yesterday He also told me he put three little pigs in my chair so I need to be carful when I sit down so I don’t squish them!  In the middle of the night a very serious doctor came to check on him and Jared seemed very upset, the doctor asked what was wrong he continued to tell that Doctor that I needed wine! That I have asked everyone and no one will bring me any! I was so embarrassed!!! I told the doctor I don’t drink wine and he just looked at me funny, like I was the one being crazy! It is very scary to watch Jared be so not himself, but the doctors say it’s almost better for him to just sleep through this really rough part.

The Nurses and Doctors have been wonderful and answer all my weird impossible questions on a daily basis. I tend to love to ask questions like when is Jared going to be better? that is an impossible question because every person is different, and they cant say something that could not be true. Whenever something weird happens, or Jared's Temp goes up, or he says something funny I am constantly asking "is this normal???" I don’t think they have a "normal", but they always comfort me and say we have seen think lots before or something like that. So my point is all the symptoms that I described Jared having above are pretty "Normal" for people on so many medications and that are so sick. They say that these last two days really should be the worst days and Jared should be going up from here! 

Keep praying for Jared's strength and patients as he hopefully will start to feel better over the next several days! 

 Jared fighting off his fever!
