Not much going on. We stayed on the floor all day, most of the time spent in the quiet/library room near the kitchen. I don't know why no one uses that room but it is nice that it is empty whenever Jim and I go there to read. There are only three chairs so it would be awkward if someone else was in there with us.
Yesterday we spent the morning at the hospital. Jim had the special breathing treatment, Pentamidine, which prevents him from developing a particular type of pneumonia post transplant. We met with Dr. Sauter and discussed the plan for the next few weeks. If all goes as scheduled Jim will be allowed to return to Virginia August 4th. The past couple of days he has been feeling as if he were developing a sinus infection. The nurse practitioner tested him for different viruses and one came back positive for a virus he had a couple of months ago. The one we think he got from Val. Yesterday afternoon he became very achy and fatigued. The NP called in an antibiotic which I picked up at CVS. Luckily lots of rest and the antibiotic must have helped because he felt a lot better today. We just will do our best to stay away from the sickies here.
Tomorrow we both are signed up to have a one hour private jin shin jyutsu session. That will break up the day nicely.
