Resting Comfortably at 3NW

Jeff moved back to 3NW around lunch time today. They've removed all of the catheters and IV's except for the central line in his chest. He's been really tired today and has had bouts of a headache, fever and chills. Dr. Drennan and Dr. Hughes said the fever is from his body killing off the tumor cell on the liver. He hasn't had much of an appetite but managed to get in part of a chicken pot pie for dinner tonight. Jeff watched a Red Sox Spring training game against Cincinnati this afternoon and listened to (or should I say slept to) an Eagles CD. Not much excitement here today...just healing, sleeping, and chatting. We took a stroll (Jeff in a wheel chair with me pushing) around the 1st, 3rd and 7th floor of NIH earlier this evening just to pass some time. We found the Chapel and the patient library and stopped into both for a few minutes. If all continues to go well, Dr. Drennan said Jeff can go home tomorrow...something we are both looking forward to. It's not that we don't like NIH ... we just want the big screen back!

I am glad to hear that yuns are doing well and Uncle Jeff might go home tomorrow. That was quick! I like the new bald head, but next time, take a picture without light coming in from the back. Your new nickname is Chrome dome:) Just teasing. Laughter is the best medicine.
