"Just the Facts"--  Still feeling very weak, but able to get some food and liquid down.  Still battling stomach problems, but was able to get some walking in.  Skin peeling to the 10th degree.

We have been working hard with the doctor since Monday's shutdown to remedy the stomach problem.  This one problem seems to be the hardest to cope with yet.  It drains any energy B may have, which really isn't much.  So as of today, we have yet another new med that is to be taken 3 times a day to combat the stomach issue.  At the end of the day, no new results yet.  But we will see what tomorrow holds.  In the meantime, I have re-assessed the food and liquid and pared it back to toast at every meal with something high protein.  Liquid is room temp and mostly lows sugar with electrolytes. B was able to eat a bit more using this food approach yesterday and today was even better, although, his weight is now down to 130.  This has now become my main focus; beefing up the calories and food intake. 

I haven't shared much about the skin peel as it is really sort of gross. B is very uncomfortable with this, but can't do a thing about it.  About the only thing we can do is every night we, or I mean, I have a date with both his feet and hands and some luxurious cream.  Each area gets about a 10 minute gentle massage to help ease the sloughing off of skin.  The palms and bottom of the feet seem to be taking on an odd process of peeling.  The skin is very thick and hard that is coming off.  These were the last areas of the rash and the most painful burning, without a doubt.  So it is interesting that these areas are peeling differently.  I really cannot fully describe it without possibly making someone sick.  So I will leave well enough alone.  In all this B's attitude is still hold up.  He doesn't like the sick stomach feeling and that keeps him down, but his mind and spirit are still in tack and on a mission to get well.  Once again I attribute this to his faith and that of all those who are keep B in prayer.  You all have my deepest gratitude.
Until next time,
Hopeful Believer.
