Rockin Along

Things are about the same as they were yesterday. He did have to have another transfusion today (#57 by my count), which was a little disappointing. But, by this evening he was looking better. Maybe it was wishful thinking or the transfusion, but he even said he was feeling better, too!

A year ago, the hospital food was really good and he had no problem at all eating it. These past few days, he lifts the lid, takes a peek and falls back into the bed. I've been bringing in homemade chicken soup which really hits the spot. Now he's making requests! A couple days ago his blood counts showed he is malnourished, (did you know there's a test for that) which the Dr. explained to me is part of the whole liver mess where the body is not able to absorb nutrition from food as it ordinarily does. So he's been ordered Ensure--which is almost more than he can bear. But he drinks it like a champ, a couple times a day.

Love you all,
Kim
