Today is Jared's 21st day post transplant! Jared has had some great days, as well as some really rough days! The hardest things that Jared is facing these days are just overall energy level, and the issue of eating! Jared has been trying really hard to eat as much as possible, but it is a huge challenge still! His favorites are still Jell-O and Pudding; one weird thing he loves is hot coco with protein powder in it! I have been sneaking protein powder in seriously everything he eats sometimes he can tell and sometimes he can’t! Jared's overall energy level is getting better and better, but if one day he walks a lot the next day will be pretty rough!
Yesterday, we met with Jared's transplant team doctors yesterday and they told us he is right on track for his recovery! He is doing so well they dropped his IV fluids at home from 1500 mg to 1000 mg, and he has started to just naturally drink more and actually feel thirsty! The doctors have scheduled an "Exit Summary" appointment for the 14th of December; this means that if everything continues to go well we will meet with his team on the 14th to pretty much discharge his from the transplant team and back to his normal oncologist! This is wonderful news and we are thrilled that everything is moving so fast and well! Before the leaves the team, if all is well, they also will do a small surgery to take Jared's Hickman Line out of his chest as well as his port on the other side of his chest! This means that Jared will be able to shower normal and move better and just feel more normal again!! Jared is so thrilled to have this all moving so quickly and for it all to be behind him so he just feels like a healthy normal 23 year old! Continue to pray for no complications and continued strength and desire to eat!
