"Just the Facts"-- Trying hard to gain weight, blood levels bouncing up and down, so infusion is a busy place. Feeling symptom free, but extremely tired.
Can you imagine being able to dream up any type of food concoction to eat without any weight gain concerns? Well this is exactly where B is. They tell us that his metabolism is processing at a very high rate? Can't imagine why, as the best he can do at times is a slow stroll around our courtyard a couple times a day. He doesn't even break a sweat. It's a good thing too as that would most likely result is a pound or two lost. He is still weighing in at 134-135. We can't seem to get above that weight and stay there. The shakes and malts are having a good time at our house. Bagels and cream cheese are high on the caloric scale, mind you all these things have to be pasteurized, homogenize, overcooked and process packaged for B to be able to eat it. He is about as far away from a healthy organic diet as you can get. Most people are opting for pro-biotic these days while B is on a daily diet of anti-biotics! We are still dealing with the body peeling, however most of the body has shed, with the exception of the feet. They are still in a full blown peeling cycle, which requires nightly grooming and moisture application, chased by thick soft socks.
At this stage of recovery, we are holding our breath a bit as the last few times we have been here, the bottom had dropped out of the shoot and B came down with some horrific side effect. So we are praying that we have seen the worst of it and that B is on a smooth incline to full recovery. Still we take it one day at a time. Tomorrow worries are not for us today. The Bible tells us that God is keeping a watchful eye over us and our future. And the Day will come when you will have a whole healed body and Life! We are thankful for that encouragement and will keep our trust in Him. Thanks to all you pray'ers out there, we could not possibly have done all this without you!
Until next time,
Hopeful Believer.
