Day 19 - Too Much Tryptophan

Matt and I both must have been given something to sleep, I guess mine was overdose on Tryptophan.  I didn't have a nap yesterday so it all caught up with me last night and this morning.  I didn't go to bed until 1:30 a.m. last night and have slept until 10 a.m. this morning.  WOW!

Matt is doing better overall today.  His gut pain is down to about a 2.  His overall color is looking not as yellow.  He does have some new pains we are working with, but nothing major.  All three doctors came by to say he is doing so much better.  They are going to take him off 1 or 2 of the antibiotics and lowering the dose of the $1,500 nutritional drip. 

Our goal today is to really wholeheartedly begin eating more solids, when he is awake.  He ordered a blueberry muffin this morning, still untouched on his bedside table.  He says he has to psych himself up to eating and it takes a while.  At least the room smells like something good now.

Sounds like everyone who has updated me has had a successful Black Friday shopping trip.  It was sleeting this morning at the hospital so you had to be pretty crazy to be standing outside in that stuff early this morning.  But glad you have your shopping done now.

Continue to pray for Matt's healing.  His bone marrow biopsy is on Monday.  We are praying that it shows he is in remission so that we can get home soon.  Pray his body continues to increase his white counts and platelets so it can get stronger.  Pray he can hold down solid foods more today.

Thank you and love to you all.
