Matt's nausea is better, they have changed up and doubled the dose. We are getting ready to start platelets now. This afternoon they will start "feeding" him through his IVs. He hasn't had food for the past 7 days. He nibbles but can't hold down anything so we've got to get something in him. Feeding him through his IV is good since his colitis is still bothering him something awful and the lest strain on that area the better. We are also now concerned with some crackling sounds in his lungs...so they will watch him closely today.
He is now tasting the styrofoam cups when he sips his FIJI water....so we are now icing the water bottles down so he can sip cold water from the bottle. Terry is going to be a small ice cooler up today to start keeping bottles iced down.....though as cold as we have the room you'd think the water would freeze on their own. The room is set at 68 and we have a fan now running on high to keep him cool. I'm very tempted to run out to my car, where I have my thick heavy winter coat in the back seat...through I'm thinking people may think me quite odd.
Here's to a better afternoon for Matt.
