Jeff’s sleep was marginally better last night. His pain was about the same, he thought. Even though engraftment hasn’t happened yet, Dr. Ahmedi switched his magnesium and Tacrolimus over to PO. Fortunately, both are small pills.
The nutritionist visited today with more suggestions for at-home meals. She also gave us some good ideas for the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception so that Jeff will feel like he is eating something similar to what the rest of us will be eating. She has been really helpful in preparing us for the return home in terms of Jeff’s diet. And, of course, It is exciting to think about Jeff-at-home.
Food is still not appealing but Jeff managed his usual large breakfast, a slice of hospital pizza for lunch, his mid-afternoon Pop Tart, and an Ensure in the late afternoon. When I left, he hadn’t mustered up the courage to try dinner and was asking for Compazine for nausea.
We were both very happy to see Greg today. Having company was a nice diversion from the tedium of waiting.

I thought Jeff looked and sounded much better yesterday. Hopefully he'll be able to get back home in a couple of days.
