I may have jumped the gun....

It all depends on how well Jim does.  He's sooooooo tired.  He's sleeping quite a bit.  Understandably so.  There's a fine line between being compassionate and letting him sleep and being somewhat pushy to get him to eat or exercise.  I talked with the nurse today to find out what was expected at this point.  She signed him up for some physical therapy for tomorrow.   Energy begets energy.  The Nutritionist came in while he was being hydrated and discussed different possibities of food he could eat.  It all goes hand in hand.   She addressed the diarea and suggested some things to help.  She also told us of typical types of food that people who have been through this find better, like teriyaki, BBQ sauce, etc.  I went shopping and bought a ton of stuff that he should be eating.    The diarea could be a sympton of what they call psuedo graft vs. host disease.  Normally people that get someone elses cells gets graft vs. host disease but this is like mocking that type of disease.  They treat it with steroids, which would also help with one's appetite.  We have a meeting with the doctor tomorrow.  I think shes going to prescribe those steroids, probably prednisone.  Prednisone can make one crazy.  Hopefully Jim can endure the craziness until the diarea is gone and he gets his appetite back.  In spite of all this, our nurse told me that it is still possible that we may be home home in a couple of weeks.  Keep your fingers crossed.  A couple of prayers couldn't hurt either.  We would really appreciate it.  Oh and by the way,  if you sign up to be a member of this blog you can have these entrees sent directly to your email.  Just an FYI.
