His blood counts are still bottomed out, but the Neupogen shots should have them climbing within a few days (hopefully). Because of the severity of his mouth sores, Jeff is unable to eat solid foods, so he is receiving IV nutrition (TPN) through his central line. I expect he will have to remain in the hospital for several more days.

Day +9
Thanks to the morphine drip and maybe a little bit of the mucositis healing, Jeff is feeling much better than he was a few days ago. He's sitting up and talking (sometimes about some really crazy stuff), and is actually quite relieved to be in the hospital. Knowing how much he despises it here, I now realize just how bad he was feeling.
