Day 23

Clint is doing pretty good. His colonoscopy biopsies came back but they didn't show any signs of GVHD, but the doctors said it might just be too early for GVHD to show up on a test. They ended up starting him on prednisone which is supposed to help with the diarrhea and the nausea, and fight GHVD if there is any. He just started it yesterday but already it seems to be helping, he hasn't had nearly as much diarrhea and the nausea seems a bit better too.
When Dr. Hoda came in today he told Clint that if he could start eating then hopefully we could get out of here by the end of the week. So today I've really been trying to get him to eat some stuff, so far he's had a small box of corn pops and 3/4 of a bagel w/cream cheese. That is definitely the most he's eaten for quite a while and we still have a few more hours to hopefully get something else in him :)
He still has such an amazing attitude, even though he is bored out of his mind most of the time. I just want to say a big Thank You to everyone who comes to see him. It really helps the days go by way faster.

I have a lot more to blog about (my amazing new quilt Emily made me, the carnival with the boys) but I'm too lazy to download pictures right now, so maybe tomorrow.
