Day 44 & 45 - Stem Cell Transplant

Nothing much new to tell you tonight.  Jimmy is just so sick.  On top off everything he is now vomiting when he tries to eat, he actually managed to vomit his feeding tube right out his stomach and they had to put another one in.  So today he has had nothing to eat.  His mouth and tongue are now completely covered in sores and by this afternoon he couldn't even talk.  Since Thursday his white blood cell count has come up by 0.2 to 1.2.  His temperature hit 37.8 again this afternoon and he has hectic stomach cramps and slept the whole day today.

I took him a Valentine's Day card and a chocolate that says I love you and arrived full of smiles telling him that as soon as he is allowed he can eat the chocolate.  He tried to smile back at me and managed to say that he will look at it tomorrow.

I feel so for the two of you. No matter how they try and prepare you for the yucky feeling times, when they come one is never quite prepared. Also so hard to see the one you love suffer so much. Thinking of you lots and sending prayers upward for Jimmy. Love, Bryan and Sharon.

Thanks Billy, your prayers and positive thoughts are more than enough. It's all these messages that really do make a difference to how crap Jimmy is feeling. Thank you :)
