When He texted me this photo I cried! I'm so happy! He's done! And though I know he still feels bad and his energy is still low, he looks great! When all this started back in late January/ early February, he weighed 315 lbs. He now weighs 265 lbs. As stated previously, swallowing has been excruciating plus he just has been nauseous with no desire to eat, though he's been drinking down healthy smoothies at 2,500 calories a day to get those essential nutrients. On Monday when I talked to him he said the pain is already getting a little more manageable as his sores are in the beginning stages of healing He has been watching the Food Network to try and stimulate his appetite, but so far it hasn't quite worked. The nausea will hang around for quite a while as the chemo works its way out of his system. He still has to go in to UM three times a week for IV fluids to stay hydrated.
Aaron will stay up in Michigan a couple weeks longer as his final appointment is Friday, April 25th. He will go in to make sure his burns are healing, and then he can come home!!!! We are going to have to have a big party!
