Day +1

So glad that we are in the + days. All chemo and radiation behind. Now we wait..and wait..it takes time for the new marrow to start making cells. Today was an ok day. Rachel was nauseated some of them time, but no throwing up. She even had some soup for dinner. The meds did seem to help keep it under control. She is still weak, and slept alot.
Some things to pray about:
Pray for engraftment
Pray that the mouth sores that most patients get will not be too bad or not at all. These are caused by one of the chemos Rachel received. They do not show up until around the 6 day or so.
Fevers can also show up around this time as well as the hair loss.
Pray she has no graft vs host issues.
For nausea to subside.
Pray that she gets no infections.
