Marinol...Miracle Drug

I realize this is such a hot topic in politics right now - right wing, left wing, I don't care - but Graham has recently been prescribed Marinol...legal medical marijuana.  I will now add advocating to legalize marijuana to my CF, Organ Donor and Rejection Research soap box. 

On Thursday, I was convinced Graham would not be coming home.  That it was time to make him comfortable to live out his final days.  This is why cocktails of drugs were added to his list of medications.  But somehow, one of these drugs proved to be exactly what he has been needing. 

Marinol - this is synthetic THC; the drug found in Marijuana.  Graham is now relaxed with all stats back to normal.  He is eating (munchies!!!!) and back to being Chatty Graham.  Still waiting on the jokes to resurface and the optimistic spirit to return.  But I believe it will.  If this gives us more days - better days - no matter how short, it will all be worth it.  But I still have hope that this is not the end...I have hope that the munchies will help him gain comfort and strength to keep fighting and living.

Jordy came up and was able to joke around and play with Daddy.  What a great memory...looking forward to adding more of these!
