OCTOBER 31

Gary was better today, but not completely over the nausea. He was able to eat a small bowl of oatmeal this morning, a frappuccino this afternoon and ordered scrambled eggs for this evening, but now too nauseous to eat. They just came in and administered his anti-nausea drug, so maybe that will help. The nutritionist is concerned that he has not eaten since last Thursday, so right now, they don't care what he feels like eating... just anything to get some calories in. He needs to put in at least 400 calories a day for his brain and lungs. His MTX level is .5 and CR 2.8. They are both going down but doctors think he will be in hospital for at least 2 more days. Even small improvements can be encouraging. Seeing him awake with the TV on this morning when I arrived and being able to take a walk and sit outside on a terrace with him this afternoon may be little things, but they show that he is slowly getting better. Thank you for your prayers!
