Well today is day 9. As long as the days seem here the weeks actually seem to go by fairly quickly (Clint might disagree with that statement). Clint is actually doing pretty well. His throat is a lot better, it is still pretty uncomfortable to swallow, but he can do it without being in a ton of pain. He was actually able to eat a popsicle yesterday! It was the first thing he'd eaten in a week. Unfortunately everything tastes really bad. He tried a bite of a few different things today but they all taste so bad that he ends up spitting most of them out.
He has had some pretty bad diarrhea the last few days (sorry if that's tmi). They had to turn some of his fluids up a little because he was losing so much, and he didn't have any going in because he hasn't been drinking anything. They don't know for sure what is causing the diarrhea, all the tests they've sent have come back negative for any kind of bug, so that's good news. We are actually hoping it's a sign of a mild case of GVHD(graft vs host disease) but the doctors say we'll just have to wait and watch for a while to know for sure.
Other than that his biggest issue is that he just can't get comfortable. His entire body is pretty achy so it makes it really hard to sleep. I don't think he sleeps hardly at all at night, and he's just kind of in & out during the day. But hopefully the achiness is just his counts coming back. Positive thinking, right :)
In really good news.....They were getting new recliners in some of the rooms and we jokingly (sort of) asked them to deliver one to our room. Well they all really love Clint so even though our room was not on the list of ones that were supposed to receive one we got a recliner! Clint is really loving having a comfy place to sit outside of his hospital bed. I love it because it reminds me of being at home. I love this man!
Oh yeah, the man I love with his remote and recliner. It's a good day!
Also we finally got out for 2 walks today! One 30 minute one and one 20 minute one. They finished the construction up here so we can walk in a circle now, woohoo! It's definitely nice to change it up a little.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers in our behalf. We can feel them and they really do make a huge difference. Please keep them coming. Thank You!
