Day -8

Yesterday went well. Rachel didn't even get a rash from the Campath. They had given her extra Benadryl in pre-meds and that really seemed to help. A friend from a church in town came by to visit yesterday evening for a little while. We really enjoyed that.
Day -8 Friday
When Rachel woke up this morning she didn't have as much energy as she has been having in the past and not much of an appetite, although she did eat a breakfast bar. The nurse started her last dose of Campath around 10am....5 days down! The Benadryl was making her sleepy so she went back to sleep for a couple of hours. When she woke up she ate lunch and now is working on her exercises. She still is kind of dragging today, but that is to be expected. She is constantly on a drug for nausea, slowly administered through the line around the clock. Seems to be working. The doctors think she is doing great!
Tomorrow she starts on a different chemo Clofarabine for 5 days. Keep on praying. We love you!
