Day +23

Rachel had a clinic appointment today. Her labs came back good she didn't need any blood products. Her neutrophil count was good also. She will probably need more growth factor meds the next time we go...but that isn't until Thursday!! So glad we are not having to go there everyday. They made some more adjustments on Rachel's nausea meds today hoping this will help her to improve in this area. Nausea still seems to be causing Rachel the most discomfort. If she doesn't see some improvement by next week the doctors may possibly do testing to make sure the nausea isn't a form of graft vs. host. Right now they think it is still just normal for this time post transplant. They expect to have the results of the DNA test by Wed. or at the latest Thursday. This is the test that will show if engraftment has taken place.
Rachel was able to eat a little this afternoon and a little tonight. She had a boneless buffalo chicken wing, and a several bites of chicken enchilada. All of it tasted good and she was able to keep it down.
Prayer for
Nausea
Engraftment
Energy
No infections
No graft vs. Host
Thanks to everyone who has so faithfully been lifting Rachel up in prayer. Doctors say she is doing very well and we know the prayers have made all the difference.
