Day zero

It is called day zero because it is that day the stem cells were infuse back in Doug's body. At this piont, he has no immune system and the risk for infection is high. I got to the hospital at 1:00 pm. He was so happy to see me because he loves me, but also because he has no many visitors, Joe and America Cannon visited him too. I put on the door the art the kids made for Doug. They did not sign their name, Doug was able to tell whose art was at the first try.

He shared with me that he has not feel that too lonely and that he has felt an amazing peace. We watched couple of episodes of Modern Family show to have a good laugh and ate lunch. Right after that he started to get chills and fever. The rest of the day he was exausted due to the fever and could no get up from the bed the rest of the day.

He had a tough night. I am so greatful for the care he is getting here. The nurse was pretty much the whole night with him. Her goal was to control the fever, she runned a lot of test to see if there was an infection. He had to have pain medication all night.

Today's the goal is to keep him safe and comfortable. They expected him to feel like this for the next 5 days. He is a little nervous of complications.
