Yesterday was another day of slow progress. Also, it was a day when Zevi threw up his NG
tube, stayed completely off pain meds, ate something resembling a dinner and
rode a bike a little. On balance, it was
a good day. The tube episode took place
during an attempt to retape the tube down.
The tube moved, produced gag reflex, and up it went. It happens.
Upon careful consideration, it was decided to leave the tube out for the
time being. The amount of food needed to
take oral meds it really rather small.
Perhaps we can manage to taper off IV feeding at home and manage without
the tube entirely.
Today the numbers are actually worth mentioning. WBC 5.25; ANC 1360; Platelets 70; HMG (hemoglobin
– red cells) 11.4. Not half bad. Thank G-D.
