Before and After

Day +49

Graham's diarrhea slightly worsened today but the Docs think the volume will go up and down until it fully settles down. The important thing is that the timing is spaced out from about every 10 minutes or so to an hour or more. He gets another dose of Mesenchymal Stem Cells tomorrow and some more Infliximab on Friday so we think he will continue to improve.

I thought I would include some before and after pics to show what a toll this whole procedure has taken on Graham. The first picture is taken on July 6th, Day 0 and the second one is taken on the Day +46, 21st September (which was my birthday). He couldn't even manage a smile for me and I think that says it all. He just feels so worn out by the whole thing but we are confident he is on the mend again and that he will be out of hospital soon.

Thanks for your support and for the offers of air miles. We really appreciate it. Mum is arriving on Monday as we received enough for the one-way leg and will soon have enough to book the return leg.
