Jack was very tired today. His hemoglobin level was very low which prevented the hospital from providing him his physical therapy today. He will need to wait until his he has a blood transfusion and is a little more rested before they will be able to get him up to try and walk and do the other therapy. This can possibly happen tomorrow depending on his condition.
He was scheduled for the blood transfusion and then he got another round of Campath (a higher dose this time) this afternoon along with the Benedryl. So, he will be even more sleepy probably. I was told the Benedryl is given because people tend to have allergic reactions to the Campath but Jack has been tolerating it well.
Christina and and her mom visited Jack this morning to make sure he ate his breakfast. They brought him some Dunkin Donuts coffee which he had been craving.
Matt saw him in the afternoon and said he was asleep and out of it most of the time and refused to eat any lunch. His appetite is probably affected by the low hemoglobin and overall lethargy. Fran and Erin said that Jack was more alert when they saw him this evening. They were able to get him to eat some dinner.
