Today Rachel had Melphalan, which was her last dose of chemo!! Glad to have this part of the protocol over with. Actually today was better than yesterday. Rachel has not thrown up today and ate a piece of toast this morning and then about 4oz of chicken noodle soup this afternoon and more soup as I write this. She is still on anti-nausea meds and sleeps a lot, but she is feeling better than yesterday. She did exercises this morning and physical therapy came and worked with her so she was pretty exhausted after all of that. The doctors say she is doing good. Tomorrow is her total body irradiation.
The donor will have her marrow harvested tomorrow. She is doing such a selfless thing and we are praising God for this woman. Please continue to pray for her.
Tomorrow the chaplain is going to do a blessing for Rachel's transplant which will be Saturday. I will fill you in on those details tomorrow.
