Day 2 & 3

All is well on Day 2 and 3.  Nick has been dealing with stomach issues from chemo which has made it difficult to sleep.  He does try to nap whenever possible to make up for the loss.  Eating is tricky as the hospital food certainly isn't Little Greek (at least not until Nick gets his hands on them).  I must say that I do enjoy hearing him order his meal, politely adding comments like, "Could you add a little butter?" or "...maybe grill the bread first?" or "Do you have anything that will give it a little more flavor?" Transplant or no transplant...restaurant is still in his blood!
"Counts" are slowly dropping (which is expected).  The WBC is what we're watching (see board below).  Once those "bottom out" later this week and into next week, unfortunately Nick will be feeling much worse than he does right now.  He will be very weak and completely susceptible to any type of cold/virus/flu..  It will become much more difficult for him to eat, drink, and walk.  We will all be watching him closely to catch any sign of trouble from his weakened immune system to try and control it quickly.
Today - Day 3, Jon and Brittany (our sweet daughter-in-law) came to visit Nick.  It was great seeing them join Nick on his daily walking "laps" on the BMT floor.  Their visit absolutely made his day!
