The days go by, but slowly for Rachel. She still feels nauseated and was throwing up. She is sleeping a lot so I am happy about that. She says her mouth has a weird feeling...but no sores yet. She is retaining water from all of the fluids she is receiving so they are giving her meds for that. Her hemoglobin levels and platelets were good today so she didn't need any blood products.
Jim will be leaving first thing in the morning. We have already said goodbye as he will be leaving very early. We are very sad to see him go. It doesn't feel right us all not being together, but we know this is just for a period of time. Still it is hard. Pray for his safety on the way back home.
Once again be praying that the new marrow is finding it's way and starting to make new cells...engraftment.
I had forgotten how much Rachel looks like Jim. I know you will miss him, but I am thankful he got to come for a visit. Praying Rachel is having a better day today. Love you both.
