We were hoping things would stay the way they were going. John's body decided differently.
He had a bad night which included some bad abdominal pains, vomiting, diarrhea and a fever. The abdominal pain could be a muscle strain from all the intestinal issues he has going on or possibly the graft vs host flaring up. They are testing everything to see if that can be the case or if he might be developing an infection. His fever still has not broken. They started him on some antibiotics this morning to get a jump on any possible infection. He has been so nauseous that he is getting a lot of meds to help it. He slept all day and got up to go to the bathroom. He is really not eating anything; his appetite has really decreased quickly. He is happy though because he can lose the weight he put on from the steroids from transplant.
His counts are steadily dropping; he will most likely be getting blood and platelet transfusions in the next couple days. That's about all for now thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Congrats on the news from the ultrasound - I'm so excited for your both.
I'm glad the meds are working quickly so you can get out of there sooner - hopefully for the holidays!!!
