They're pumping him full of all kinds of stuff today....

They started out with three different kinds of  anti-biotics  which seemed to help break the fever.   Then they gave him platelets. Now they're giving him all of his medication that he would normally take via a pill.  Because the mucusitic is super bad today he is unable to swallow anything.  I looked in his mouth and his throat with a flashlight and it is bright red and a yellow color.  It doesn't surprise me how excrutiatingly painful Jim says it is.  He's still swishing salt water around in his mouth though.  I guess that is the only thing that helps.  They gave him his own little morphine button today.  He can press it every 6 minutes for pain.  He's not eating anything so they're are going to put him on TPN or basically a nutrient supplement via the IV.
