Day 7

Tuesday March 17, 2009

Today was not only hard on Jake, but also on me. Today believe it or not was the first day I was not able to be at the hospital since the start of his transplant. I had soccer practice and work. My brother was happy to be able to spend the night up there, and it also made Jake a little more comfortable to have someone there over night. Today his mom and sister were there at some point throughout the day. Jake is incredible to go through this. Yet, I am his standing wall, and helping rock, I definitely don't have to go through the physical pain he has to. His mouth is starting to sluff, and the sores are all the way down his tract. He's had some changes in medications. Also, he his being tested for infections. He did have a fever, but I was told it was starting to drop. We all hope this fever and the infection comes back negative. It will get him closer to a speedy and safe recovery. We love you Jake! Hang in there!
