Update: Today is Day 51 of Jaron’s 100 day “isolation” period. That’s not as bad as it sounds – basically he just can’t go anywhere or eat any outside food, and we have to be very careful with germs, watching for any signs of infection or fever. He still doesn’t feel very good at all – he is taking around 10 pills twice a day. Home Health came and hooked him up to IV fluids and antibiotics. Jaron was not too happy to regain another tube and briefcase of fluids, but says he’d rather be here with them than at the hospital! He has battled a virus in his eyes, which makes him sensitive to light, so he’s been keeping his eyes closed and sleeping a lot (Had an interesting trip to the ophthalmologist the other day) but it is getting better all the time. Somehow, his mouth has not healed and is still very raw and painful, so any food he can stomach has to be very soft. But every once in a while he shows a little “up-tick” in energy, so we trust it’s coming back slowly. All the numbers look really good from the transplant, so the doctors are very pleased with that! It’s just all these side effects that are hard to deal with. We had a great Thanksgiving being all together, and looking forward to the same for Christmas! Thank you again for all your prayers and encouragement – we could not do this without you!
