Later that day he went to work and called because he did not feel well. He tried to stick it out but came home and said he felt dehydrated. I started water in the gtube and then we called in because he was so nauseous with it. The fellow said to switch to pedialyte so we did that the rest of the night. We had our monthly appt in the morning.
So Friday we went in and labs were ok. His weight is up to pre transplant weight and that is what we were shooting for. He still is getting 3 cans of feeds and needs to drink to get caught up. It might take a little longer since we are catching him up at home. He is thrilled about his weight. We saw the boy, Karl and his family there. They live 10 minutes from us. Karl is having a tough time too. He was in the hospital for 5 months following his transplant. His mom is stressed and she has 2 little ones at home. I begged her to call me to even just talk. I think she will. We met Uncle Jim and Matisse and had lunch with them. Matisse looks adorable in his shaved head.
We are having a quiet weekend but a good one. Can't believe it is August tomorrow!!! Not looking forward to going back to work. Looks like a busy month too!
