9/5/2017 Better Day (little better) (Web site is messing up again! Sorry)

Chris is doing a “little” better today and yesterday for that matter. I think it’s a combination of changing one of his meds and just time. It is only day +26, from transplant day, so he really is doing good, but my honey is struggling with the slow progress. His blood counts continue to go up, which is great, we just need his body to catch up! Chris’ doctor and the staff at the clinic are all stressing the importance of food and liquids in his diet. He hears them but he is just having a hard time eating and drinking right now.  The doctor also told him that the lack of liquids could be part of the reason why he is tired. Sure makes since to me.

9/6/2017 Yoga!

I started doing yoga with my niece, Emily, a few days ago. You will never guess who did yoga with us today…..My Honey! He couldn’t do the tougher poses but he was sure trying to do as much as he could. Who would have thought that Chris would be willing and able to practice yoga? Not me for sure!

Chris said the taste of food is starting to come back. I’m hoping he will try to eat more if food starts tasting better. He is still struggling with liquids though. 

Right now we go to the clinic twice a week for blood work and once to see the doctor. Twice a week I get a break from pushing food and liquids because the staff at the clinic get after him pretty good. Lol! Plus they are still tweaking his medicine until they get the right dose for Chris.

We know it is a crazy week for our Greek community because it is festival week. We will miss the craziness, the fun, and ALL of YOU! Chris wanted me to tell his Cochairmen, George and Terry, to hang in there and he misses them! I know he wishes he could be there with you all. ❤️❤️
