Jeff here. Joey is not terribly miserable but continues to be a little on edge. He will receive blood today, which should give him a bit of a boost. He continues to use the bedside toilet a few times an hour. His pain is managed quite well and the dose has remained consistent and effective. He just gets irritated easily (as to be expected, poor dude), but still finds a way to say something funny once in a while. The doctors continue to be satisfied with his status. He hasn't really played any video games. We continue to work hard to do the mouth care (3) times a day. I'm looking forward to the blood which is starting right as we speak....... I am confident that he will get a boost when these RBC's are finished in 2 hours or so. Laura is hanging out with Aunt Lori and Mitchell. She will come to the hospital about 3PM today. I a looking forward to sleeping on the way home.... I feel much better since I have been with Joey this weekend..... It is very hard to be away from Laura and Joey during the week, and it hard to be away and have limited insight to his labs, physician discussions, and other info regarding his condition. Thanks again for your continued support and prayers.
