Regina,
I trust you, and I know he does. That's all that matters right now.
Keep his wounds clean and bandaged. Change them if they start to bleed through. The Mako will help him heal, but if the Maeve have interfered, it will take him longer than usual. Make sure he stays hydrated, preferably with broth or if he won't take that, give him honeyed water. He needs the nutrients. Herbs should be okay, but stay away from pills - painkillers or otherwise. His system will try to fight them off, and it's a strain he doesn't need. If the Maeve have not blocked his magic, the magic of our homeworld, I will send my healing materia back with Ahtem.
It's not his blood he's distressed about, it's what's in his blood. It's not just the Mako, there's something in our genes, something put there by the scientists on my planet. It links us all, all of us who have those cells. I could feel what was happening to him the whole time, we all would have felt it. If you swallowed blood you have his cells, you're a part of that link now.
If you're upset, please don't use that link to reach for him. I don't say this to offend you and I don't mean to keep you from him. But please, please don't use that link. If he gives you permission I will tell you everything, I promise, but this is for his own safety. I'm deadly serious. If you need to reach, try to find me. He can tell you how.
I will be in my room here, so Ahtem will be able to find me easily. Let me know what help you need.
