Post Transplant Update Day 9!! Happy Thanksgiving!


Last night was another awful night for poor Jared. He was up most the night between barfing and his hallucinations. He does say some pretty funny things, but it is also very scary to watch someone be so out of it for so long, and so uncomfy from such a high fever.

This morning Jared's doctor came and talked to us and his counts have started to come up!!! They are still super duper low, but no longer at zero!! Jared is very happy and excited about this because it means he should not get any worse only better! Today they have been able to keep his fever a little lower then it was the day before, but it is still much higher then they would like. This morning Jared was given a couple more blood transfusions, these will hopefully help the recovery process, but because in the past he has had so many allergic reactions they give him pre medications of a lot of benadryl so he has slept most the day. He continues to get super nauseous whenever he has to get up to go to the bathroom, and has continued to be throwing up quite a bit. Overall it was a pretty simple day, with no good or bad exciting points. 

Today Jared's throat has been hurting a bit more, but in a sort of different way. They suspect that the mucisitious is starting to slowly try to heal and so it causes some more discomfort. I feel like my blog is always me just saying all the super sad things that are happening to Jared, hopefully I will soon be able to write more happy and exciting news as he starts toward his journey to feeling better. The doctors still say he could be in the hospital for another week or longer, it is just unknown. Pray that tonight Jared can have a goodnight sleep, with less pain, nausea, and no fever! 

Today and everyday I have so thankful for Jared. He is so brave and strong, I am so lucky to have him!
