Day +1
After all the talk of anti-climax, I guess you can say it better applies to Day +1. Day 0 brought so much hope and so much excitement, a letdown was almost certain. So, in truth, there is very little to report today. Max remains himself, full of personality and always happy to show the nurses his dimple. The highlight was during speech therapy when he was taught a new game - crashing down toy towers. His laughs were deep and heartfelt and all in the room were in stitches.
The low point involves his rear end where his output is keeping us from letting enough "butt-paste" do it's job. At one point he was writhing in so much pain that the nurse recommended the smallest dose of morphine and I said OK. We've been told many times that pain management is a key to healing and not a deterrent to engraftment so we should make Max as comfortable as possible.
Grace remains a little stuffed up so we're all wearing masks. When a couple of us are in the room, Max is seeing a vision that will only be repeated in movies involving surgeries or train robberies.
The creamed corn smell is fading, and you know, I kind of miss it.
