Bad Day
52 minutes ago

Yesterday, was a pretty good day for Jim. However, today feels like a 
relapse. He has mouth sores and a bad sore throat. He currently has a temp 
of 100. He has been mostly sleeping today and complains of hurting all over. 
In short, he feels like poop to put it bluntly.

The on-call physician at Moffitt has called in a script for magic mouthwash. 
We originally asked for this when he was in the hospital last week to help 
prevent the mouth sores. We had just seen several recommendations from other 
MCL patients and care-givers on the MCL group that we are members of on 
Facebook. The nurse told us that they do not prescribe magic mouth wash 
there; they have patients rinse with saline solution. They gave him a bottle 
of it, he used it all and I made more. I am glad he will finally get the 
magic mouth wash; however, it makes Jennifer and I angry that they would not 
do this last week when we asked.

Have to figure out now how to get him to eat and drink something tonight. He 
is turning everything down. As always, please pray for my gym.

Good night all.
