Day "14"

I can't believe that it has been two weeks since Jeff's Bone Marrow Transplant--the transplant that Jeff really doesn't remember! Jeff might disagree, but time is passing rather quickly for me. Joel, our BM donor, came to visit tonight. He still has a hard time bending over and lifting heavy objects, but he seems to be on the mend. Forgive me for the monotonous posts lately, but we seem to be in a holding pattern. Jeff is not getting better, but he is certainly not getting worse at this point. Some how, he has been able to avoid IV nutrition. I was told today that ninety percent of patients end up on it because of nausea and mouth sores (mucosidous)! Jeff is pretty much surviving on cereal, peaches, crumb donuts, bananas, sun chips, apple juice, and Gatorade, but it is doing the trick! It can't be easy... shoveling down food when the smell, let alone the taste, make you nauseous...but he is doing it! Way to go Jeff! It just might make all the difference in the road to recovery!
