Jared is doing very well; he's been cracking jokes all afternoon, so he's pretty much normal. We had quite the experience transporting Jared back and forth from the hospital. We made this video (below) when he had just woken up, for the second time, and was trying to relate to you all what had happened today and how he was feeling. We left the hospital a short while later and headed over to Dr. Mayerson's office to pick up a few documents we need for Jared's appointment at Children's Hospital in the morning.
When we arrived at the doctor's office, Jared insisted on going up and personally introducing himself to the staff. They're going to be some of his closest companions these next few months, so, he wanted to make sure he made a great first impression. After a few minutes of talking with his nurse, Jared looked at us all, very pale in the face, and said, "I feel dizzy, I need to sit down... I think I might throw up." Within seconds he was projectile vomiting into the trash can the nurse had grabbed from behind the desk. Jared stood up immediately after the scene had passed and informed everyone else in the waiting area that it was ok, he had just had surgery. We then proceeded to a room in which he could lie down for a while and regain strength. Almost right away he started cracking jokes about the situation and listing off all the things he could have done to actually freak the rest of the patients out. Clearly, we're not too worried about him loosing his sense of humor throughout this process. As Jena Long so brilliantly said when I first voiced my concern about Jared loosing his personality: "Something like that is too big to loose."
PS: if you see someone dressed as a cancer patient running around Miami on Halloween, it's probably Jared. Yes, he's trying to find a way to be in Oxford this weekend, and yes, he does think it would be funny to dress up as a caner patient. And yes, Jared is still Jared...
